Testimonials
When my mom was placed in this facility she was in very bad shape she didn’t even know where she was and couldn’t talk. With good therapy and excellent care from the nursing staff, she has really improved. She can sit up and talk and she’s more like herself again. My thanks to all the staff for taking such good care of my mom, God bless you all!

Mom needed more help as she aged and finally, the day came when I could no longer keep Mom independent. After finding Rim Country Rehab in Payson, all my worries about Mom’s care were alleviated by the team of caring professionals who went above and beyond palliative care. If you find yourself needing care for a loved one, please give Rim Country Rehab a try.
