Some highlight the exceptional care and dedication of the rehab and nursing teams, especially appreciating the hard work and kindness amidst challenging times like the Covid pandemic. Families have noted significant improvements in their loved ones' health and strength due to the diligent efforts of the staff.

    On a positive note, the medical director, Dr. Henry Lewis, has been praised for his caring, compassionate approach, and some families have had such positive experiences that they highly recommend Bell Minor, citing it as a place of excellent care and a family-like atmosphere. The facility's proximity to a Level 1 trauma center is also seen as a significant advantage.

    In summary, while some families have had positive experiences with Bell Minor, praising the staff's dedication and the progress of their loved ones, others have raised serious concerns about the quality of care, hygiene, and overall management of the facility. Prospective residents and their families may need to consider these varied experiences carefully.
