Reviews
Read Louisville East Post Acute reviews to hear from patients and families about their stay with us.
My husband was at this facility for several weeks for inpatient rehab post surgery. We also worked in the medical field so we notice things others wouldn’t. Speaking ONLY on the experience for shorter term rehab stays, the staff was wonderful to us and the physical therapists are INCREDIBLE. The only detraction I would say is the food…I often had to bring meals as what he received was not very appetizing (and he’s not a picky eater whatsoever). We know he will need another spine surgery soon and will likely have to go to rehab, we actually discussed today potentially choosing this place again…and the food was the one thing he brought up as to why we should maybe check out some other facilities since we have time to plan ahead (unlike his first stay). We half joked that if returns, the only way he could handle it is if we could afford to buy a mini fridge and keep it stocked with back up food 😂

Overall a good experience for my family. Their therapy did wonders for my brother
The care here is OUTSTANDING!! The nursing staff is very caring and they LISTEN to the patients under their care. They are attentive and always available for all patients. Furthermore the physical and occupational therapists are SIMPLY AMAZING. They have an incredible team that is dedicated to rehabilitation of all patients whether they are there for rehab or long term. My recovery from my neck surgery and the TIA would not have been possible without this incredible place! I am so very thankful for them! I would certainly recommend this place for ANYONE who is recovering from major illness or surgery. Believe me, the rehab team here is top notch!! Abby, Tony, and the rest of the team will get you back in your feet! They are simply the best rehab team I have ever worked with. If you are looking for good rehab or post acute facility then come here!! I have never met a more caring facility in my life. The staff truly cares about the residents.
