208 reviews on Google“Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center (also referred to as Lake Gibson Village) is frequently praised for its modern, clean, and resort-like physical environment. While many families appreciate the friendly staff and high-quality therapy services, there is a recurring pattern of concerns regarding chronic understaffing, particularly during night shifts, which leads to delayed call-light responses and hygiene issues. Families should be aware that while the facility is visually impressive, the quality of care can be inconsistent depending on staffing levels.”
