“I recently checked my mother in law into Washington Rehab facility, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to answer our questions and offered reassurance, which made the transition much smoother for both my mother in law and I. The facility itself is very clean and well-maintained.

“My mom was a short-term rehabilitation patient in January and I was quite impressed with the care she received. My brother and I were thinking that she would not be able to return to her home after her hospital stay due to her significant decline. However, after her stay at the facility, she did in fact return to her own home and is now thriving. Thank you to the entire staff!”

★★★Skye Nightsong · 2026-07-07 · via Google

“I live here. New owner just took over. A lot of changes are happening right now, hopefully for the better. Activities are good, Physical therapy is excellent, food is horrible. The staff is a mixed lot. Some are great and others are just putting in their time, just like everywhere else.”
