This place has been a saving grace for my family! Without the care of the nursing staff and the other staff in the building my family member would not have gotten back on to her feet! The amount of care the facility provides is top tier would recommend over and over again to anyone!

When our family was suddenly faced with the unexpected, Waddell became the clear and steady answer for my father’s placement. Their staff is incredibly helpful, genuinely caring, and truly loving in the way they support residents. Tabatha and Shelia were both a God-send, helping me through the application process, especially while dealing with our recent loss. I feel at ease knowing he is safe and well cared for while we are away, and their excellent communication keeps us fully informed about his status. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and professionalism they’ve shown our family. I would highly recommend their facility to anyone in the community.

Waddell’s commitment to both residents and the community is outstanding. Their annual Fall Festival is a wonderful example—an event that brings residents, families, and community members together in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear how much effort the staff puts into creating moments of joy and connection for everyone involved! They also led the way locally by hosting the first drive-through breakfast for first responders in the area. As a paramedic, being greeted with gratitude and kindness was incredibly meaningful and spoke volumes about the administration’s heart for the community. My family’s own experience with Waddell has been nothing short of exceptional. During my great-grandmothers final weeks, the staff treated her with a level of compassion, patience, and genuine care that felt like an extension of our own family. Their dedication gave us tremendous peace of mind, knowing she was surrounded by familiar faces who truly valued her well-being during her greatest time of need. From the way they care for their residents to the way they give back, Waddell consistently demonstrates compassion, dedication, and a true sense of community. I can confidently say they set the bar for long-term care in our area. Thank you to all of the staff and administration at Waddell Nursing and Rehab Center! Your commitment and dedication does not go unnoticed!

My Mom was a resident at Waddell Nursing and Rehab until she passed away. I couldn't have asked for more caring and loving staff in their treatment of her. They were always available for any questions and very supportive.
