What this means for your family

Sharon Care Center is highly regarded for its administrative leadership and effective rehabilitation programs. However, families should be aware of inconsistent reports regarding nighttime care and staff professionalism; we recommend visiting during off-hours and observing staff-resident interactions in common areas before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts

A special shout out to Jymmie Reed who not only made my mother feel welcomed and cared for, but also took the time to make sure my husband and I had the assistance we needed to make our way through the labyrinth issues associated with elder care.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

The therapy staff here are amazing. They worked hard with him and pushed him to get stronger. He walked out of there with a walker on February 16.

Rehab patient's spouse · 2023★★★★★

Most of the staff took really good care of my Dad in memory care with the exception of a caregiver that YELLED at me when I was visiting my Dad , pointed her finger and DEMANDED I go sit in another room instead of visiting my dad in the dining area.
