Key Review Excerpts

The staff was hugely instrumental in helping my 41 year old son make progress in his overall health and well being. They made him feel at home, cared about and important.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

I am ecstatic over the results of my wife's stay at Sunset Rehab! She was treated with the utmost care! From the Administrator to the therapists everyone was first class!

Rehab patient's spouse · 2022★★★★★

The place is disgusting and has a fowl odor as soon as you enter the place. Had a relative move in here and we moved her out in less than 2 hours.
