The staff at Cypress Ridge were amazingly accommodating with us. They provided a single room for my mother in law who stayed with them for 6 weeks. She had been hospitalized prior for a psychotic break and was somewhat of a difficult patient. The staff at Cypress Ridge were compassionate and efficient at all times. The director communicated with me immediately after any request. Their onsite social worker was fabulous and kept track of all the appointments for all the patients and helped me through not only all the daily appointments but also interviews with our transition to assisted living. I also need to give a shout out to all the nurses and staff who really do the hardest of work. I could see how much they all cared for every patient there. The front desk staff made sure nothing slipped through the cracks and the driver was always there for her for the multitude of appointments when I couldn’t be there. Finally, the OT and PT employees showed up for every patient 5 days a week always ready to motivate and move my mother in law and got her strong and ready for her next living arrangement. I could not have achieved what I did without Cypress Ridges staff’s support.
After hip surgery, I spent 2 1/2 weeks at Cypress Ridge, where the staff met my needs extremely well for my recovery. The physical and occupational therapists were very positive, motivating and got me moving so I could get home. I would recommend this facility to anyone who requires care and attention!

Wonderful care by wonderful staff, Room was great, light and airy. Physical therapists were skilled and very responsive to my needs. After a two week stay, I was much stronger and healthier.
My stay at Cypress Ridge Rehab has been pretty good except the food. Joanna admissions coordinator has been fantastic to me and roommates. She is very helpful and pleasant! Ren admissions director is very helpful when there's a problem. He is very nice and professional.
