My mother was transferred to Bradenton River Rehabilitation Center after having a stroke. The staff are attentive and have answered all my questions. The care they have given my mother is exceptional and goes behind what they are required to do. I recommend this facility above all others in the area. Despite all the challenges my mother has to face, she is well-taken care of by all staff members.

My mother is a patient at Braden River from the first day she arrived to this facility she was treated with nothing but kindness and great respect . The staff are all great I've never been to a facility where the staff members treats you like family this facility is a step above the rest.I would recommend any of my family and friends to Barden River . The administratior Danielle was so helpful to me she pointed me in the right direction to get the necessary paperwork I needed for my job. The Rehab team is awesome as well .
