⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AristaCare at Whiting is truly an incredible rehab facility! The physical therapy staff is outstanding; Tarra and Casey were especially helpful!! They are all caring, knowledgeable, and always encouraging you to reach your goals. The property is beautiful, and the building is very well-kept, but what really stands out is how the staff makes you feel so welcomed from the moment you arrive! On top of that, the food is absolutely delicious; a real treat compared to what you’d expect in a facility!! I would definitely return should I ever need therapy again!! I can’t enthusiastically enough recommend AristaCare at Whiting for anyone looking for excellent rehab in a wonderful environment!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a fantastic experience at AristaCare at Whiting! The physical therapy team is absolutely top-notch ; especially Casey and Nicole, who were both incredible. They pushed me to do my best, explained everything clearly, and even gave me homework exercises to continue at home so I could keep progressing even after discharge. That level of care and follow-through really made a difference. The nursing staff was also wonderful!! Kind, attentive, and truly caring!! You can tell that everyone here is dedicated to helping patients recover and feel supported every step of the way. I highly recommend AristaCare at Whiting to anyone looking for excellent rehab and a great overall experience. They go above and beyond!
