We’re only three days into my mom’s stay, but I already felt compelled to leave a review because of the exceptional care we’ve experienced so far. Every single staff member we’ve encountered has been friendly, compassionate, and incredibly patient. From the administrators to the nurses and CNAs, everyone has been welcoming and attentive, and it truly feels like they care about both the residents and their families. Transitions can be stressful, but this team has made the process so much easier. We’re very grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and support shown so far, and we feel confident she is in good hands.

My mother cannot speak for herself, but her actions show she is at peace here. The staff treats her with kindness, respect, and genuine care every day. From the nurses and CNAs to the kitchen staff and administration, everyone makes her feel loved and safe. As a family member, I also feel heard and supported whenever I raise a concern. That compassion — for both my mother and our family — is what matters most to us. Thank you to the entire team for all that you do.

I came to Ebony Lakes for therapy after not walking for 8 months and a total knee replacement. From the first moment I arrived here everyone, no matter what position they held, asks me is there anything you need. The diligence is unwavering and never falls short of " what can we do to help you". The therapy has made the difference of being able to walk again with never a moment of despair. Meals are balanced and thoughful. The sincerity of all the staff is truly life changing in one's difficult times.

Urgent Warning for Families Seeking Care: Do not place your loved ones in this facility. Based on a direct experience with my grandmother during her rehabilitation stay, the standard of care is unacceptably low and dangerous. Key issues observed: * Unsafe Environment: The lighting throughout the facility is extremely poor. Residents were frequently seen wandering the halls unsupervised, appearing confused and lost. * Unresponsive Staff: The nurse call system was constantly alarming, indicating that patient needs were not being met in a timely manner. * Patient Neglect: We witnessed a clear case of patient neglect involving a nurse named Arturo. My grandmother was recovering from surgery with doctor's orders to avoid her hip sutures and to be handled gently. We communicated this to Arturo before he changed her. * Direct Harm and Unprofessionalism: He ignored both the medical orders and our direct pleas, handling my grandmother so roughly that she was in extreme pain. When we asked him to stop, his exact response was, “Don’t tell me how to do my job.” He then left her completely uncovered in the bed. This incident of neglect happened while a family member was present in the room. We cannot imagine the level of care provided when residents are alone and unable to advocate for themselves. Given that this staff member is also in charge of bathing other elderly residents, we strongly advise you to avoid this facility to ensure the safety of your family.
