Overall Review of Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Call responses feel inconsistent

Residents describe long waits and missed responses when they call for help.

Some residents and family members report that call bells and requests for assistance went unanswered for extended periods. Several reviews describe situations like delays to get help, staff not responding promptly, or needing to advocate repeatedly. A smaller number of reviews speak positively about follow-through and responsiveness, but the negative experiences make this a clear watch-out.

common 8 reviews mention this

Staff care comes through

Many reviewers say the nursing, aides, and therapy team provide caring, professional support.

A number of reviews credit the staff with taking good care of residents and treating them kindly. Several mention specific caregivers or note that nurses and aides were helpful and attentive, including during inpatient rehab stays. Even among reviews that are critical overall, some still single out caregivers and therapists as strengths.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Food quality splits opinions

Dining quality is a frequent point of disagreement in reviews.

Some residents and families describe meals as delicious or with good variety, including praise for the kitchen staff. Other reviews are much harsher, describing food as cold, unpleasant, or not appetizing. Because both themes show up repeatedly, it’s worth planning for possible variation in day-to-day dining.

common 6 reviews mention this

Therapy support stands out

Physical and occupational therapy receives repeat praise for being skilled and supportive.

Multiple reviews highlight the rehab therapy team—especially physical and occupational therapists—as knowledgeable and effective during recovery. Several families also mention coordination of therapy scheduling and daily rehab activity. Even a few otherwise-negative reviews still point to the rehab-focused staff as the better part of the experience.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Cleaning and maintenance draw complaints

Reviews raise concerns about cleanliness, repairs, and outdated building conditions.

Several reviews mention issues like unsanitary conditions, bugs, stains, or dirty shared areas. Others point to broken or poorly maintained elements such as call buttons, equipment, or areas that appear neglected. While at least one review specifically praises cleanliness and upkeep, the recurring maintenance and hygiene complaints are a consistent reason for caution.
