★★★★Dianne Stanley · 2026-06-11 · via Google

“Physical therapy was excellent here. I chose this facility because of the reviews of PT. The staff works so hard but, when you have so many people to take care of it makes it hard. They need to hire more help. Ellen was so kind and helpful, she deserves a raise. As for the food it was hit or miss if it was good. I did eat in my room so it was hard to get hot food. I did have them warm up one meal.…”

★★★★★Susan Towbin · 2026-05-09 · via Google

“When I came in with a hip replacement and broken wrist I was having a very hard time. Each day therapy worked with me and made impossible tasks seem manageable. I am leaving today with a cane and am able to walk on my own, get dressed, rejoin my family. I am grateful for Alicia and Sarah and all the patience they had with me!”

★★★★★Morgen Baird · 2026-02-11 · via Google

“So incredibly happy with the care my dad received at JCMCF. The entire team was amazing! His social worker Erica was absolutely wonderful, great communication and patient. So great to know that there are such good people working in this industry!”
