Took wonderful care of my father in law. Thank you for your help and the love and care you showed to him in his last days

My brother was here for rehab after a fall for about 5 weeks. He had a great experience. This is a wonderful place! The staff is caring, the activities are great, and he progressed very well with the therapy. He celebrated his birthday during his stay, and he had a great time! It really says something about a place when the resident is homesick for it. He’s happy to be home, but he misses his friends and the staff. I highly recommend Gateway!

A year and half ago I had to be in rehab for fractured pelvis recovery. The place was very clean and kept that way. The employees were absolutely tremendous. Always kind and compassionate. I also noticed they treated others exactly the same. I was so impressed and applaud the people of Gateway!<br>Saundra

A very clean facility and nice employees. When you walk in there is no bad oder when walking down halls. Staff is always busy with the residents and treats them with respect. CNA’s are very good and have fun with the residents while interacting with them. Physical therapist work hard to fulfill the residents needs. Administrative employees are readily available and will answer any questions you have. Outdoor visiting area is clean and the grounds are well kept. Limited outdoor seating needs to be addressed because there is very few chairs to sit in.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
