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!!”
