My father was recently at Tanbark after having covid. He was treated with great care and respect. The room was comfortable and the staff treating my Dad was exceptional. The social worker, Latoya, did an amazing job of making sure all of his needs were met. Sandy, Dawn and the two Mikes as well as Mathew the Physical Therapist should be recognized as well. The food was good, as I was offered a guest tray during visits. Tanbark also provided transportation for Dad so that he could visit his doctor during his stay. They also brought a doctor to his room when he was having issues with a wound. Overall we are very happy with the care he was given.

My aunt was in Tanbark Health Care Center for rehab. It was fine. (My mom was also there three years ago.) They had wonderful physical therapy, the nursing staff was very nice, and the rooms were very large and clean. Overall it was very nice. It's located in a residential area, it's well maintained, and the grass and everything was well kept. It fits well into the area that it's in. It's not homey. It's small, but it's definitely a rehab center. They have lots of patience; my mom had vision problems, and they were very kind and helpful. My aunt had very extensive physical therapy, and they worked with her really well.

My mom stayed in Tanbark Health Care Center for two weeks. I was not pleased at all. I've gotten an excellent review on that. I would not take my mother back there, and even my mother, she was not happy at all. They were not organized, they lost her clothes; it even had her name on them, and the food was not good. They told me that I could come and do a window visit, but I wasn't able to even look in her room because there was a courtyard. I don't think they did any activities, and my mother was not pleased with the food at all. I didn't feel the care and love there.

My wife was in Tanbark because she had Bell's palsy and was falling every day. Tanbark did everything they could, but they couldn’t be with her all of the time. They had very professional staff and a doctor that came in to see her once a month. The food was good. The room was nice and had two rooms: the bedroom and the living room. It had a walk-in closet, a nice bathroom, and a small kitchenette. It was a very nice place and served my wife’s purpose at that time.

My father was actually at Tanbark Health Care Center for rehab, and it was very nice. The facilities were wonderful, and the food was wonderful, but I don't think the care was nearly as good as the amenities. Some of the staff were wonderful. I'm 50-50 on that place; you were never greeted when you came in, and the people sitting at the door didn't even acknowledge you. The aides and some of the nurses were great, and some of the physical therapists were great, but I think overall there was a disconnection with the people that work there.

We visited Tanbark Health Care Center when we looked for a place for my mother-in-law. She would have a bedroom, small living room, microwave and sink. It was very nice but they did not have a secured dementia unit.

We just moved our grandmother into Tanbark on the corner of Tates Creek and Man O War in Lexington, Kentucky. She has advancing Alzheimer's but is still able to somewhat care for herself. Everyone has been very nice and the facilities are beautiful. This is a great option for our family because as she advances in her illness we can move her to a higher level of care within the same facility.

Tanbark really was a great place for my late great grandmother to stay. All of the staff was very helpful in attaining the information that my parents and myself were looking for. Also with my grandmother being an employee there for 40 years was another great selling point for us so we knew that she would get the care that she needed. All of the tenants there were very happy also, all their needs were met and it really seemed that they enjoyed being around all of the staff. I highly recommend Tanbark Healthcare to anyone searching for a topnotch facility for anyone in their family. All reviews on the internet came back positive and I have never once heard a complaint from them, especially during the time my great grandmother stayed there.
