  • Be prepared to sign admission forms. These include a financial screening performed with our financial counselor. If you need help, have your representative, power of attorney, or family member available to work with us prior to your admission. If you have special directive documents, bring them with you so we may make copies for our records.

REVIEWS

I've been my mother's caretaker for the better of 4 years, Our experience with Medicana and its staff has been incredible - and I can not stress enough how scary it is to trust other people with your family's long-term care. With that said, it felt like every member of the Medicana staff cared about doing right for their patient and the patients family.

I had a great experience here at Medicana.The staff was very professional, kind, and caring overall. Especially the admissions lady Lola. The physical therapy was phenomenal and they helped me get on track to go home. I'm walking better now and I highly recommend coming here to rehab and all other care needs. Overall Good teamwork and the staff really cared. Ms.Shavon helped me get prepared to go home and all of my home health needs. Thank you so much for taking care of me.
