What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts
“My father was at Westgate Hills Rehab for over a month and the best thing about his time there was Ms. Elizabeth Tanyia Harris. She is the concierge from the admissions department and she went above & beyond to help my father and me.”
“The therapy department is outstanding ,they are motivating, encouraging, and genuinely focused on helping residents regain their strength and independence.”
“The only complaint I have is with some of the GNAs that work nights and weekends. Their dedication and effort was lacking at times.”

Recurring problems include care planning, medication management, and safety hazards like blocked exits. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across recent surveys (2025) suggests ongoing challenges with resident protection, proper care coordination, and maintaining safe conditions.
