Discover the Westwood Difference


"I honestly don’t know where our family would be without Westwood Nursing & Rehab Center. Our mother is thriving, thanks to the excellent care she gets every day from the greatest employee’s on earth. From the skilled and caring nursing staff, a top notch rehab staff, an awesome social services representative, activities, dietary, housekeeping and maintenance. Westwood rocks it in all departments. We are so fortunate and blessed to have our mama in such good hands. Thank you all, our Westwood angels for all you do for Mom and our entire family."

Karen Rose, Family Member

"Everyone was very courteous and proactive, the nurses explained everything to me during my stay, the therapy department is outstanding and I got a wealth of information for my discharge. Without question I would recommend Westwood!"

BJ Murray, Former Patient

"The staff is positive and attentive. They are so ready to help! When I ask for anything they take immediate action. Therapy is fabulous! They put me at ease and I have a lot of confidence in them. They are gentle but get the job done. I’ve made so much progress in a short amount of time. I was relieved and thankful to be able to come to Westwood Rehab after my knee replacement. I would definitely choose Westwood again!"
