I only have praise for The Dunkirk Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home. We had to admit my 84 yr old mom this summer and everyone there was so helpful , understanding and kind. The entire staff was always available to answer a question or just listen as we navigated this new reality, and always with a smile . Sadly, mom was readmitted after falling and breaking her hip , we were so grateful they had a place for her as we knew the level of care she would receive and that she was in a safe place to heal again.<br>Thank you to the entire staff at Dunkirk Rehabilitation and Nursing . The care you give is appreciated .

My mom has been here since August of last year and I cannot say enough on how impressed I am with her care and this facility. It is very small but clean and the staff goes above and beyond<br>to make sure she is taken care of. Even with her dementia and at times very difficult to please the staff understands and still tries to make her day better. Thank you all, it means so much when we wish we could have mom at home. So happy we found Dunkirk Rehab! Paula

This is a wonderful, patient centered facility that can provide thorough, focused therapy services and high quality long term care. It’s small size allows for consistent staffing and a family like atmosphere, with a friendly face always just a few steps away.

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 →
