Overall Review of Skies Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

differentiator 19 reviews mention this

Activities staff can make days better

The activities team is frequently described as caring and welcoming.

Multiple residents and families call out the activities staff by name, especially Linh, and describe them as kind, attentive, and focused on making residents feel comfortable.

common 14 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy is a major focus

Physical and occupational therapy support is often praised for progress.

Many reviews emphasize therapy as the core reason people were at Skies, with praise for PT/OT staff working with residents and pushing at an appropriate pace. Some reviewers describe major improvements after surgery or falls, including increased mobility and learning how to continue care at home. While therapy shows up positively in many accounts, there are also complaints from some families that therapy access could be limited or delayed depending on the situation.

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Call lights and staffing draw complaints

Residents and families report slow responses to requests for help.

Several negative reviews describe call buttons taking a long time to be answered, with people waiting for help with toileting, changing, or basic needs. Some accounts also describe periods when CNAs or nurses were not available as expected, including situations where oxygen help or follow-up took hours. A few reviews mention weekends as a time when staffing and availability felt worse.

caveat 16 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and maintenance are mixed

Some reviews praise cleanliness while others describe ongoing issues.

Cleanliness is a clear split in the reviews: many people say the facility is clean and well kept, and others highlight welcoming, well-organized spaces. At the same time, multiple reviews report odors, dirty rooms or bathrooms, broken or missing items like TVs, and maintenance problems that affected comfort. A few reviewers also mention hygiene concerns that became serious for residents, while others say they never saw issues and felt their loved ones were well cared for.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Care coordination and medical details vary

Medication and care follow-through are described inconsistently by families.

Some families praise nursing and administrators for being professional, responsive, and making sure residents receive the care they need. Other reviews raise concerns about missed or delayed medical needs, including medication timing, diabetes-related care, and follow-through on infections or doctor-related updates. A few accounts describe communication problems around oxygen, call responses, and discharge or paperwork, which made the experience feel stressful for families trying to advocate.
