I had an hour to make a decision on where to send my mother to rehab. At the recommendation of the hospital staff I chose Complete care at Bey Lea. I so glad I did, the staff was attentive and caring, and my mother received all the attention she needed. The superstar of the facility, in my opinion is Ed, the social worker. Ed was on top of everything and coordinated between multiple agencies to get my mother the care she needed, post rehab. Ed often answered emails well beyond normal working hours. The only reason I gave 4 stars was due to inconsistent operation of the HVAC system in my mother's room, which I understand is being addressed. I would recommend Complete Care at Bey Lea for those needing a skilled nursing facility.

I would like to recognize LPN Tara Pedre (3-11shift)and also Nurse Marcene, who was working the dayshift yesterday, June 1, 2026. I’m not sure if that’s her name and also the young man who was the aide who changed the patient and assisted the day nurse (Marcene?)with the dressing change. The patient’s name is Alfio Canaletich in room 16 b on the Star unit. Overall, it is the staff that makes your facility exemplary.
I was told that this was a great place to go after foot surgery, a place that provides both physiotherapy and occupational therapy for an hour per day, every day, When I got there, they kept me in bed, doped up so I wouldn't bother them for the first 3 weeks even though I told them I didn't want pain medication. I was there for 5 weeks and despite big signs all over the place about their daily physiotherapy and occupational therapy for an hour per day, on an average week, I received 2 hours of therapy at best and the therapist worked with multiple people at one time so it mostly consisted of sitting and waiting. The food was worse than what you would find in a toilet and while I was there, they lost my shoes and someone stole my coat. One of the aids borrowed my phone charger and I never saw it again. I lost 50 pounds because the food was so bad, and I'm not a fussy eater. I called it "the hell hole. It is also terribly under staffed but keep raking money in. That, I think, is the bottom line. After 5 weeks there, I got out and had to learn to walk again.
I cannot say enough great things about Complete Care at Bey Lea. My father has been there for the past 2½ weeks, and the level of care he has received has been outstanding. The entire staff has been incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, which has made a stressful situation so much easier for our family. A very special thank you to Ed, the social worker, who has been absolutely amazing. He has gone above and beyond in every way…helping me navigate the insurance appeal process, guiding me on necessary home modifications, and assisting with arranging care for my dad after rehab. His support, knowledge, and compassion have made such a difference during this time. I truly appreciate everything the team has done for my father and our family. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of quality rehab care.
Nursing staff aides and physical therapists were wonderful. Nurse Jackie was great as were joan and Kevin in therapy. Staff was friendly and always said hello. Food was ok sometimes not great but tolerated. Ed social worker was also good to me. Thanks everyone
