Gardner Rehabilitation And Nursing Center Description
We all have family. Whether bound by blood, ceremony, victories shared or time spent together, family is a word we use to describe those who are most precious to us. We care for each other, rely on each other, teach each other. We’re there for each other and hope we always will be. Family is everything.
At our privately owned Gardner Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, we understand what it means to be family. This facility was created by a man seeking a better way to care for his aging mother, and that spirit lives on with us today. At Gardner Rehab, whether here for a short while to heal or a longer term to be cared for, your family becomes part of ours. That’s the only way we know how to do what we do, caring for those in need and helping ensure their quality of life is the best it can be, under any circumstances. That’s how we’d want someone to take care of our family, and ourselves, should the need arise.

The reviews for the facility present a mixed but generally positive picture. Several reviewers commend the staff for their hard work, care, and compassion, highlighting the efforts of both the nursing team and the administration in improving the quality of care.

Many reviewers appreciate the welcoming and warm environment, exceptional customer service, and the variety of activities and events provided for residents. The food quality also receives positive mentions, with some noting it seems homemade.
However, there are concerns about communication and staffing issues. Some reviewers mention experiencing poor communication with the facility, difficulty in getting information about care plans or discharge dates, and a high turnover rate among the administration.

Despite these concerns, many families express gratitude for the care their loved ones received, with several staff members receiving individual praise for their dedication and kindness. The facility is recommended by many for its great care, clean and friendly atmosphere, and the professionalism of its staff.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement, particularly in communication and staffing stability, the majority of reviews reflect a positive experience with the facility, its staff, and the level of care provided.
