What this means for your family

While Trinity Village receives praise for its rehabilitation services, the recent reports of neglect and hygiene issues are deeply concerning. We strongly recommend that families perform unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to observe the actual level of care and staff responsiveness before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts

She is consistently wet. I mean soaked through her clothes wet. Her personal items that WE paid for go missing. She has had MULTIPLE medical issues that could have been prevented had she received the bare minimum that her $13,000 per month pays for.

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

My mother left the hospital and had to go to rehabilitation. This is her 3rd time in rehabilitation in 2 years. What a perfect experience. It is simply first class.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★★

Most of the staff are lazy and hateful! The rooms are very dirty and the bedding is not changed properly. I have had to complain about all of this several times. They do not stay in the room with the patient while they take their meds.
