The linked facility website describes short-term programs for recovery after surgery, injury or hospitalization, with a return home as a goal.

Real rating is ZERO stars! Horrific place. This really is The Backrooms!!! I was surprised to see a post “newly remodeled”? Really? It looks like it’s mostly not updated since the 70’s or 80’s with old looking beds, old interior spaces. This place looks (and smells) like a horror film. Why is there no nice recreation, calm area like something with trees or green? They have a cemented courtyard. That’s it? Why no colours or brightness to help the mood? To be fair, many employees are kind, but are likely overworked, understaffed. We visited almost everyday which helps your family member get…

Real rating is ZERO stars! Horrific place. This really is The Backrooms!!! I was surprised to see a post “newly remodeled”? Really? It looks like it’s mostly not updated since the 70’s or 80’s with old looking beds, old interior spaces. This place looks (and smells) like a horror film. Why is there no nice recreation, calm area like something with trees or green? They have a cemented courtyard. That’s it? Why no colours or brightness to help the mood? To be fair, many employees are kind, but are likely overworked, understaffed. We visited almost everyday which helps your family member get care. Sad that it has to be that way. I wonder if the owners of this care facility would want to be admitted here or would place their family here? How horrible to think we take care of our elderly like this. The ones responsible for this facility should be ashamed 😳

I had such a wonderful time yesterday at Gateway with my friends. We Blinged the Red White & Blue for Memorial Day! Can't wait for the 4th of July!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️💥

The staff should all be fired nobody there cares about the patients, can never get in touch with anybody just a place in hell!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

The wonderful people at Gateway helped my husband David to recover completely. David had heart surgury and then was sent to Gateway. His personal Physical Therapist was so patient and helped get walking again. The nurses and workers personally cared for his every need. He came home not needing oxygen. I believe this wonderful place really cares about hurting people.

I don't want to even give this place 1 star. Worst place ever. I wouldn't even let my dog go there. They do not care about the residents there. The patient rooms are filthy and smell. They did not care about my mother at all. They just wanted a paycheck. Did not properly clean her. It was just a total mess. Poor communication. Nasty nurs4s to the patients. Please do not send your ove ones here.

I really do not want to put a star on, but I have no choice... This is the worst place my grandfather has ever been. He entered for rehabilitation and after many months he still does not walk, so the supposed therapy they gave him was useless, he lost a lot of weight, his face and head skin with a lot of dermatitis due to lack of hygiene, he has his parts and black buttocks and with scarlets. horrible!!!!! There were so many bad things that I do not recommend to anyone.

I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. The experience was truly horrendous. Patients receive no real rehabilitation. The hygiene conditions are unacceptable, especially considering that most of the patients are elderly and unable to care for themselves. My father was admitted to this facility, and I found him in a terrible condition: his head and face were covered with a severe dermatitis. He was also speaking incoherently, as if he were confused or mentally impaired. I later discovered they were giving him a sleeping medication, but I was never told which one. After bringing him home and stopping all medications, his condition improved significantly. Today, my father is fully aware of what he says and has regained mental clarity. This proves how harmful that place was to both his physical and mental health. What’s even more troubling is that in order to be admitted there, patients are required to sign over their financial benefits. This makes the situation even more shameful. To be fair, there are a few staff members who are truly kind and dedicated, but unfortunately, they are the minority. Most of the personnel show no interest, empathy, or commitment to the well-being of the patients. To all families: do not bring your loved ones to this place. I wouldn’t recommend it even to the worst person in the world.

My mom went in for rehab and wasn’t a patient for a month before she had a big hole in her butt and her heels black. She went in with her skin intact NO wounds and left in a total mess. This place isn’t fit for a dog!!
