I can't say enough about Shangri-La. They saved my sister's life. She was abused and starved. This facility has made her more alive and vibrant. She smiles now and is being treated like a human being.

While our Parents lived at Shangri-la, the caregivers treated them with love and respect, as if they were their own family.

Shangri-La Rehab & Living Center has been a wonderful support for my family (especially my dad). My dad went in the center with limited mobility and inarticulate speech, do to some previous obstacles he experienced. He as been there since August and in six months he has made so much progress. He is beginning to be more independent and seems more like himself. The staff is very nice and helpful, in which they are accommodating to all of his needs. Any questions I have, they answer in a timely fashion. I do not have any complaints and appreciate Shangri-La Rehab & Living Center immensely!

This facility might look old but that don’t mean anything the staff that works in this building is wonderful! They treat every resident as they would their own family they have an excellent activity director that keeps them happy with things to do and awesome holiday parties! This would definitely be a stop on my list if I was searching to place a family member.

My mother-in-law lives at Shangri-La Rehab. She's lived in many assisted living and rehab places in the last few years. I can safely say this is the most care she's recieved from people who really care about her and others who live there. It is well run, clean, smells good, and is calm. The staff is out on the floor helping people and completing tasks, unlike some places where you can find people behind a desk doing very little. Her clothes are whisked off to laundry as soon as she's changed in the morning and at night. Roxanna goes up and down the wing my mother-in-law lives in and cleans everyday. That floor shines because of her dedication. She's always fun to talk with. I'm called by Tina or Angela if there's a change in medication. They are caring detailed nurses, exactly what you would hope for. Felicity is on top of the business side, yet helped when I needed to get ahold of my mother-in-law and couldn't and helps with other non business related events. Aubrey, their social worker, makes transportation arrangements and makes certain my mil gets to doctor's appointments as well as follow ups. She even made arrangements for a notary to come in for personal paperwork. Randy, the director, is there to help and listen to concerns, yet more importantly, he takes action to make my mother-in-law's life a good one. All of these people do their job with a smile and it seems with humor and with enjoyment. It is their life, and their realness that makes them good to be around and easy to talk to. Shangri-la may not be the newest nursing home in the area, but it is the best. My mil is happy too. I highly recommend Shangri-la for a loved one who needs extra care and kindness.

I enjoy working here in this family-like atmosphere. This team works extremely hard to take care of our residents who are our extended family. There is such a great opportunity to learn different roles and develop skills. When I started here, I planned to help for a few months. Almost 13 years later, this is home away from home and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

Wanting to say thanks to all the awesome nurses and care givers within this facility. My father was there for almost a year before his passing and was always taken care of as if family. All the nurses shown tons of compassion and caring towards the patients each and every day. Don't let low ratings for this facility sway your decision the nursing staff is great and that matters the most in my mind.

My mom has been in the facility for a little over a month now. In that time, she's had a massive heart attack. The staff has taken extremely good care of her! They went with her to a cardiologist appointment because we couldn't make it. The lady that escorted her to her appointment stood up for her at the appointment. This is so important to our family! None of us ever want to have to put our loved ones in a nursing home, but we can't always give them the best care at home. I appreciate the staff at Shangri-La!Thank you ❤️,Priscilla Young-Haase

For 7 years I have been through a lot of rehab facilities with my father. I moved him to Shangri-la after a particularly bad experience at another facility. They were close to my house and I figured I would at least be able to keep a better eye on things there. What I found has changed everything for me and my Dad. The staff there doesn't just take care of them. they treat them like family. They take the time to make them feel like they are there for them. They are available to talk to me about anytime I call or come by. They have my Dad up, dressed and out of his bed first thing in the morning. He stays up a lot more than he used to and is even discovering new things around there all the time. I moved him there for convenience...he staying because of the staff.

What They’re Saying

Petersen Health Care was an absolute answer to prayers for our family as we sought the proper facility for our Aunt. The facilities are very home-like, and the care and love given to the residents by the staff is exceptional. I would recommend Petersen Health Care to anyone looking for a home for their loved one with dementia.

Family Member

Well, this was the best decision I could have made for Mom. Every staff person listened to me as though my concerns were their only concerns. They took into consideration all of Mom’s individual needs, even her personal preferences that were not within the normal protocols of the nursing home. They really listened when I talked. They kept me informed. They respected her wishes, through me, since she could no longer express herself.

Family Member

I recently was a short-term resident at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care following surgery. The staff was incredible and deserve special mention. I appreciated the service and, most of all, the friendship extended to me when I was a resident there. All the CNAs tended to my needs. Their gentle and kind attention was exceptional; I am sure it sped my recovery. Those who prepared and served my meals also played a big role. The food was excellent and the cheery smiles of the servers brightened the sometimes stressful days. The Pathways therapists pushed me to stretch those stiff muscles.

I am sure that I would not be doing as well as I am – and be back in my own apartment — without them. Those who made it possible for me to get to my doctor appointments aided tremendously. It was definitely easier for me in the Polo Rehab van than in a car. You gentlemen are true gentle-men. I truly feel that the Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care facility is one of the best available in this area. I cannot thank all the staff enough. It is top notch nursing care.

Successful Therapy Patient

Everyone from housekeeping to the nursing staff is wonderful. I know that my mom is in the hands of wonderful, caring people. When she came there 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but you have proven over and over again that it was the best thing for her that I could have ever done when I could no longer meet her needs myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom

Family Member of a Resident

The time has come to leave the beautiful people in this place. Having been here before, I was impressed with the new therapy department. Occupational Therapy has helped me learn new ways to put on my shoes and socks and I can do it by myself. Physical Therapy has helped to strengthen my legs and get me back to walking again. If I need therapy again, I will definately come here!
