A horrible experience would never take my love one back there for rehab. staff blame it on being short staff, but if you are not there with your loved ones all day long, they will not be treated right their call bell will ring for 25 40 mins before somebody will even come in to the room and if your loved one is a feeder, by the time the staff comes in the room, the food is ice cold or your loved one will be trying to feed themselves myself and another caregiver was there most of the day I reported them to the state they tried to put my loved one out two weeks after she got there and she was not ready to leave. She didn’t reach her level of PT yet I had to do an appeal. and we won the appeal I called Ombudsman office they open investigation on shower day there was an excuse that they were shorthanded most of the time I changed my love one when I was there cause by the time she would wait for somebody to come in to give her a bed pan she would already go in her diaper. was a mess.

My mom came to North Cape Center for rehabilitation, and I can say this with my whole heart: she was doing so well because of the all the staff here. The staff goes far beyond a job description. They truly care. They took the time, showed patience, and treated my mom like a human being, not just a room number. Now let’s talk honestly—was the food amazing? No. But let’s be real… what nursing home, college, or school has five-star food? None. And when the level of care is this high, that’s a small trade-off. The nursing staff deserves endless praise. Shout-out to April, Amber, and Chrissy—absolute angels. There was also another nurse whose name I can’t remember, but trust me, she was incredible and didn’t put up with my mom’s nonsense. The perfect balance of compassion and accountability. My mom would call April Carol… Rachel… basically any name but April 😂 and no matter what name she picked, April showed up every single time with patience and love. Amber somehow always knew how to make my mom smile and calm down on the nights she was getting worked up — true magic ✨. The staff here are the kind of caregivers you never forget 💔💛 And the aides? Oh my goodness. Literal superheroes. The hardest job in the building, and they show up every single day with strength, patience, and heart. I will never forget how they cared for my mom. My mom ultimately decided to move somewhere closer to home, and while I respect her choice, I am truly heartbroken. I know—deep down—it will not be the same anywhere else. Thank you, North Cape Center, for taking such amazing care of my mom during her rehabilitation. You will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I will forever be grateful for every single person who cared for her. ♥️

My husband has been in this rehab for a week and I am so glad we picked this facility. The staff on the first floor in the Rehab are excellent, very caring and very supportive of patients and their family. They have kept us updated every step of the way!

Today was my grandma’s first day at north cape center for rehab. She said everyone has been nice and she is comfortable. When I arrived, OT was in the room speaking with her. The OT was friendly and went out of her way to answer my questions. She also asked some good questions of her own. The CNA was very nice as well. I feel better leaving her there after that experience

10 days and counting. Our mom is stationed at this facility and working towards getting her health back in order. The staff is quite friendly and kind. They all have a tough job to do and seem ready and able to comfort their clients in an attentive and kind way. I would prefer to be able to meet with medical practitioners per visits to be more informational moving forward towards a plan, yet understandable due to volume of residents. So far- 5 ⭐ 's H.F.
