Key Review Excerpts

“The facility did not have the proper supplies for my surgical needs (an ileostomy and wound care) it took days to actually get items and NEVER got all of the proper items. The rooms are dirty, the sheets are stained.”

Rehab patient · 2022★☆☆☆☆

“The supervisor that works weekends is absolutely the worst rude deplorable person!!!! I am just at a loss with the lack of compassion.”

Memory care family member · 2023★☆☆☆☆

“Were I just to evaluate the Rehabilitation Services, I would give the facility 5 stars. This is the only reason to choose The Grand. However, everything else is in need of serious work.”
