Review

Timber Ridge Health Care has received mixed reviews from individuals who have had loved ones stay at the facility for physical therapy and rehabilitation. One reviewer expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of care provided to their father, stating that he was left in soiled clothes for extended periods of time, leading to skin irritation.

Their interactions with staff were positive overall, without any complaints. Despite this positive feedback on cleanliness and staff interactions, no specifics were given regarding therapy or rehabilitation services provided.

A fifth review praised Timber Ridge Health Center for its accommodating rooms and attentive staff. The reviewer's father had fractured his hip and was undergoing physical therapy at the facility. They mentioned that private and semi-private room options were available based on their father's mood and irritability. The cleanliness of the facility was also noted as a positive aspect, and the staff was described as compassionate and thorough. The only complaint mentioned was regarding the food.
