I highly recommend Tanbark Rehabilitation and will go again, if needed, without reservation. I was at Tanbark Rehab following a shoulder replacement. The staff is wonderful! They helped with everything I needed. I was unable to shower by myself and the assistants that helped me made me comfortable. The nurses were professional and caring. The rehabilitation staff were amazing. The PT and OT staff were knowledgeable and engaging. I looked forward to that part of my day. Everyone I meet from the doctors to housekeeping, front office, administrative staff and dietary staff made me feel comfortable and cared for. My only complaint is their medication system. Their pharmacy is in Louisville. Enough said.

My mother has been at Tanbark for 3 years total. She was in the rehab section for 3 months and in the personal care side the remaining time. The apt is large , well lit and has a large window to see out of. Except when she was isolated due to Covid restrictions we have been very pleased with the care she has received . Some of the staff and caregivers have been there for several years. The food is very good and you can’t have a better food staff than Brad and his crew. I go see my mom most every day except when I’m in florida. When I’m here away from her, Tammy Smith sends me updates and pictures of mother doing activities. She treats her like family. They have a new activities director who is doing wonders getting the residents to participate in doing crafts . All in all the Ayres family has been pleased with our mom being here. Our dad was also here for his last 4 months and loved Britany dearly who also is very kind to my mom. Her rooms are kept clean. We all love the hair stylist on board now that Covid restrictions are less and loves my mom.

I was here for respid care for PT and while my townhouse was putting in the necessary changes after an injury. All of the staff were fantastic, great facilities, awesome amenities (with the beauty salon which is great) and wonderful PT. I was definitely not the typical resident (at 28yo) and I was treated wonderfully by all staff and residents. My aunt ran nursing homes/assisted living and we visited quite often so I have been in and around nursing home facilities for most of my life and this is definitely one of the best.

Mom (age87) was in the Rehab unit after breaking her femur. The facility is always neat and clean. The staff is very personable, helpful, & patient. Mom's rehab therapy was exactly what she needed, building up her arm strength and increasing her ability to use a walker and gradually increase weight bearing on her leg as it heals. We have no complaints and are grateful to the whole staff!

I checked out Signature HealthCARE at Tanbark Rehab & Wellness Center. They were too hands on, more like a nursing home than a senior community, and I don't need all that help. They come around your room every two hours and check on you, and if you want that much help then they're really good. It's a beautiful place and it's gorgeous, but it's a lot more money than my current community (like $1,500 a month more(. The staff was very helpful and very nice. They're gorgeous, but they're kind of too elegant for me. It's a fancy place with plush carpets.

My mom was sent there after open heart surgery and from the minute we arrived she was treated like a family member. She has received exceptional care both physically and mentally. She had a small relapse and went back to the hospital for 2 days and without question she returned to Tanbark to finish her therapy. Every single nurse, nutritionist, cleaning and maintenance employees, and support staff are highly knowledgeable and if they don't know something they seek out the answer immediately....not hours but immediately. I recommend Tanbark to anyone seeking rehabilitation in an atmosphere where they want to feel loved and helped.

BeAware!

***Be aware of several things: Upon admission, they do NOT tell you that upon the 21st day of rehab, you will be charged an additional $150.00 per day because Medicare co-payment is reduced beginning day 21. If they "feel like" notifying you, they might, but in my case they waited until 18 days later to tell me they had been charging this amount to my bill. When I called to talk with 1 of the corporate vice presidents, he said "they're supposed to", but they feel no responsibility or conscience to make sure it IS done. Be advised to check and DOUBLE-CHECK the medications they put your family member on and the Care Plan that is posted in the room. Question it and make sure they FOLLOW it! I had to make sure a private caregiver was there most of the time when I couldn't be there because for the first 10 days, no one knew what the other one was doing. I suggest you RECORD your admission interview and do not sign anything unless you read every single word, even though they'll say, "this basically says...". Lastly, the current administrator is sadly lacking in people skills. Ask any person and/or employee there. Now, for something positive...the rehab OTs and PTs do a great job and are truly committed to rehabbing your family member. For them, I give 5 STARS.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were able to answer all my questions and were very reassuring of their facilities accommodations. The administrator, Conjuna Collier, was very informative and even let me meet some of the staff that would be caring for my grandmother. The only negative thing I can say about this facility is cost but who doesn't complain about the cost of living in a facility such as this one!
