My father was recently a patient at The Pearl for rehabilitation, and unfortunately the level of care he received was far below what we expected. While many staff members were friendly, the overall quality of care was underwhelming and concerning.
The food was consistently poor—both in appearance and taste—which contributed to my father losing a significant amount of weight during his stay. He required full assistance with bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, brushing his teeth, and general hygiene. Despite this, he was frequently left sitting in a soiled diaper for extended periods, sometimes over 40 minutes. This issue was brought to the attention of the director, yet the problem persisted and was never addressed reliably.
Physical therapy, although adequate, was limited to only a few minutes per day and did not match what our family had requested or what my father truly needed. Overall, the attention given to his daily care needs was insufficient and left us extremely disappointed.
The receptionist was the most professional and pleasant part of our experience, but unfortunately that alone does not make up for the significant shortcomings in care. Based on our experience, I would not bring my father back to this facility and would strongly advise others to consider different options for their loved ones.

My 98 year old Mother received care at The Pearl for 10 days! The entire Staff, Nurses, PAs, Physical Therapists, CNAs, Food Service Workers, Janitorial and Cleaning employees were OUTSTANDING. Mother was well-cared for, clean, fed, treated with dignity, medically supervised, and watched carefully. Not once did I have a negative reaction or comment from anyone, and I visited her often and regularly. Contact me if you ever need to know more about the kindness we experienced at The Pearl.

Staff is welcoming and kind. My nurse Michelle is professional and prompt. I know she cares. She always goes above and beyond. Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, Respiratory Therapy are incredible I improve everyday they work with me. Gentle and never hurt my fractured femur. Johanna Mendoza, Dietary Director was prompt to accommodate my special diet and the food was always great! Stephanie the Activities Director was so sweet and so fun! She even includes my grandkids when they visit. I’m so thankful for The Pearl and the Administrator Daniel for the care I have received. I’m looking forward to my success and I am hopeful because I’m here. You guys are AWESOME!
