Key Review Excerpts

The Oaks at Radford Hills staff, nurses and therapists have been amazing for my mother in law. She has not had one single complaint—from the food being so good she hasn’t even asked for her favorite Chinese take out to the therapists working with her to get her stronger—everyone has been so caring and attentive.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★★

My grandmother took an unexpected fall at her Independent Living community and ended up in the hospital for a short term stay. She was discharged to a Rehab facility and Sandi Beard took the reins from us and guided us through the entire process, making it as smooth and easy as possible.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

My father resided here for approximately four months in the second half of 2025, and the level of care was unacceptable. The facility is severely understaffed, and as a result, residents are routinely neglected.

This facility has an alarming pattern of 48 complaint-triggered deficiencies out of 60 total violations, indicating families have repeatedly filed reports about serious problems. The most concerning recurring issues involve abuse and neglect protection, nursing staffing shortages, and care planning failures.
