“My sister's move to East Bay has been smooth and easy. The Medicaid process seemed overwhelming at first. Katie Crawford was with us from the beginning-always happy to help. She answered questions and never seemed to mind helping us navigate thru the process. Katie is awesome and a true asset to East Bay! Also I would like to recognize LaRhonda Moore in finance. She was extremely helpful fill…”

“I have visited East Bay Rehab for many years as a healthcare professional. I’ve always been greeted by name by the staff with hugs and how can we help. Working in senior living way often times refer East Bay for our residence for their short-term rehab. I would highly recommend.”

★★★★★Melissa Dickinson · 2026-07-07 · via Google
“My mother-in-law lived here for the last two and a half years. Every time we visited, the place was clean and felt safe. The staff is extremely caring and conscientious. We feel fortunate to have found East Bay, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.”
