When thinking of where to send a loved one, Independence Rehab is the only option. From the second you walk through the doors you are met with staff that truly care. From Nursing to Therapy, everyone works hand in hand to ensure that the care being given is second to none. All of the staff, including ownership, go above and beyond showing that they truly CARE for each and every patient as if it were one of their loved ones. Kudos to the Independence team and keep it up!!

The only have decent thing in regards to the facility was the staff... everything else was deplorable from the food to the up keep of the facility and care and maintenance of their residence. My father being one,my father looked and smelled like a homeless man,with untreated wounds.Sitting in his own urine with a pamper stuffed down the front of his pants.. His room housed four grown men, with two men my father being one bed was on the floor, with debris and trash scattered throughout the surrounding area... After recovering from a traumatic brain surgery and being unable to visit my father, to walk in and see him in that state was so disappointing... So if your family is in this facility please check on them physically go in-person.

From the moment my mother was admitted to Independence Rehab and Nursing, we felt cared for like family. The staff went above and beyond not just with her medical needs, but with genuine kindness and encouragement every step of the way. The therapy team helped her regain strength far quicker than we ever expected, and the nurses were attentive, patient, and always willing to answer our questions. The facility is clean, welcoming, and full of people who truly care about their patients’ recovery. Thanks to Independence, my mother is back on her feet and thriving. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Cheltenham (Independence) Nursing and Rehab has brought up their standards for care and facility conditions. Their staff is courteous and caring. The staff goes out of their way to help and assist to the needs of their residents. The facility is clean and there are no malicious odors. Actually, a beautiful fragrance fills the lobby and elevator landing areas which only builds the impression you get on the attention to detail this facility dedicates themselves too. You will not be disappointed with Cheltenham!
