The staff at Westview has taken care of my loved ones for over 2 years. They are caring and attentive and make every effort to meet or exceed the needs of both residents and their families.
Staff are very caring and work very hard. Each resident is treated like family.
Very wonderful place to go for rehab. The pt and ot department are very very excellent and awesome to work with and are life saving. The rn and cna department are super wonderful and they know their jobs and know what they are doing. All the departments are very patient and wonderfully understanding. They are all my angels. I am very sad about leaving saddle ridge and the wonderful kind understanding and patient staff here at Westview. The staff are my superheroes. God bless you all and take care.
Be careful if you work here because the Executive Director does not care about her employees and never staffs the facility appropriately. It is truly sad
My 97 year young mother stayed here following a stroke in May. She spent 2 months with wonderful care and attentive therapists. She loved the food. CoVid was the only issue, as family could only visit through the window with phone calls.
What a wonderful place! so many great people :) the workers there are very understanding, they put their patients first, and they are very nice to their visitors!
We have always enjoyed working with Westview! Terry does a great job scheduling and getting patients to their appointments around town. He always put their patients first!
I would never work here if you have a family with small children. It's not a understanding place to work for.
We placed my 90 year old Mom here to heal from a broken hip. What she received was a stage 3 bed sore. Just NO.
