From the moment we stepped into the front lobby of University Care Center, we were warmly greeted by Maria. The facility has made an excellent choice in hiring her as the front-line representative. Despite the facility’s busy nature, especially during peak hours, Maria maintains her composure and a warm smile throughout the day. Her friendly, polite, and helpful demeanor makes her an invaluable asset to the team. She communicates effectively with patients regarding their appointments, ensuring that they feel comfortable and informed. You can count on her! The nursing staff and medical team have all been nothing but friendly and accommodating. I’m glad my brother chose University Care for his spine surgery rehab. A special shoutout to the physical therapy team, social services, and housekeeping. Expect this facility to be bustling with activity. The hallways are filled with staff members, each with a specific job to do. There’s never a dull moment at UCC! As for the meals, my brother didn’t eat much, but he was spoiled by his friends and family who brought him food from shops and restaurants when they visited. I must give the meals some credit because each meal was prepared fresh, neatly presented, and covered. Again, my brother made the best choice with University Care. The 17-mile and 20-minute drive was worth it me….my brother was worth the visit. University Care provided excellent care and support to my brother. UCC, you all made a big difference in my brother’s life and helped him stay on a positive path. His recovery journey continues with chemotherapy. Thank you, UCC! You da the best 👍🏼

My auntie stayed here and had an incredible experience. The staff was very genuine and took very good care of her. They ensured that she would be taken care of and made sure to get her back to life. The staff heads and departments were all amazing!
