What this means for your family

Tamarac Rehabilitation has a strong therapy team that many families credit for successful recoveries. However, the facility is highly inconsistent; you must be prepared to be an active advocate for your loved one. I strongly recommend visiting unannounced to assess the cleanliness and response times yourself, and specifically ask how they handle communication when family members cannot reach the facility by phone.

“Tamarac Rehabilitation and Health Center receives highly polarized reviews, with some families praising the dedicated therapy and nursing staff, while others report severe neglect, poor hygiene, and communication failures. While some visitors highlight a clean and welcoming environment, numerous reports of slow response times, substandard living conditions, and difficulty reaching staff suggest significant inconsistency in care quality.”

Key Review Excerpts

“The therapy department was amazing and went above and beyond to help her recover. The diverse staff and semi private rooms seemed a bit noisy at times but the kindness of all staff from maintenance to administration certaintly made up for any shortcomings.”

Long-term resident's family · 2016★★★★★

“The staff is very caring and considerate. They treated my mom as a member of the family with care. All they asked for was communication. If there were any concerns, I mentioned it to the nursing staff, and it was resolved.”

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

“My father was in a terrible car accident and has been in the hospital and rehabilitation facilities for 8 months. Tamarac rehabilitation was the last place my dad was at and we are sooooo grateful we were told about this facility!!”

The facility shows recurring issues across three main areas: resident rights violations, fire safety problems, and quality of care concerns including nutrition and daily living assistance. All deficiencies have been corrected by the facility, but the pattern of safety issues persists across multiple surveys from 2021 to 2024, suggesting ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
