★★★★★Lindsey Rodriguez · 2026-01-03 · via Google
“My mother went here after a hospital stay and was treated with dignity and respect. Food was good. She enjoyed the amenities and intense rehab. She was unable to walk when she arrived and by the time she left she was walking without assistance, just shy of 3 weeks. I'm so thankful we found this place after our experiences elsewhere.”

★★★★★Matthew Walsh · 2025-09-28 · via Google
“My mother Mary asked me to write a review on her behalf. She states that every member of the Jewish Rehab staff was exceptional in their care and professionalism. Thank you. Jewish Healthcare Center!”

★★★★The Hobeyone · 2025-06-05 · via Google
“While my experience with this facility is limited I noticed a definite atmosphere of healing when I visited the patient and discovered an employee taking care of her that I knew. The facility and grounds seem to be well taken care of. The care she was getting seemed to be good as well.”
