This community, Westgate Gardens, garners high praise for its attentive and skilled staff, with many reviewers expressing gratitude for the care received during their stays. The rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility is particularly commended for its caring staff who go above and beyond in providing services, making a significant difference in the experiences of both patients and their families. One reviewer highlighted the facility’s role as a valuable clinical site for nursing students, underscoring the welcoming nature of the staff and their crucial contribution to student learning. The dedication of Westgate Gardens’ caregivers, who have been described as frontline healthcare heroes during challenging times, also received notable mention. The quality of care, including the efforts of the physical therapy team and the attention to nutritional needs, was acknowledged as contributing positively to recovery and rehabilitation outcomes.

Despite this, positive feedback about the staff's professionalism and affection towards patients, the quality of care provided, and the overall environment of the facility substantially outweighs negative remarks.
