“My father Joe is there now for rehab. Everyone is very kind and helpful. I have to say it's the cleanest nursing home / rehab that I've been to. They go out of their way anytime I call or need something for Dad. The 2 gentlemen, Addie are exceptional, as well as the nurses and aids. Night and day shift. The reception ladies that greet you are wonderful as well. Highly recommend Tall Woods!”

★★★★★Edward Burley · 2026-07-12 · via Google

“I’ll always be grateful for the PT staff at Tallwoods Care Center who were outstanding and caring professionals. I want to thank the director, Joe, and the other staff Melissa, Josephine, Ashley, Elena, Jane, Claire, and Kim for all their compassion and expert-level care in the PT unit. I also want to give a special shout out to Melissa for going the extra mile! Chris Burley”
