How we work

We'd rather tell you the truth on the tour than surprise you later.

When families tour Highline, Terrence walks them through three things before he shows them a single room: what Medicare will and won't pay, what a typical day of therapy looks like, and what happens if things don't go to plan. People tell us it's the first honest conversation they've had since the hospital.

The rest of what we do is just as plain. Same nurses on the same halls. A therapy gym open seven days a week, because a hip doesn't take Sundays off. A dining room that serves green chile stew on Thursdays. And a discharge planner who starts on day one, so going home isn't a scramble on day nineteen.

Sample family reviews

In their own words

Terrence told me on the tour exactly when Medicare would stop paying and what it would cost after. Nobody else did. That's why we picked Highline.
Dale P.Son of a rehab patient
New knee on a Tuesday, here on Thursday, home in seventeen days. Amara's team worked me hard and I'm glad they did.
Sharon K.Rehab patient, 2024
My mother has lived here five years. The aides know she wants her coffee black and her curtains open. Little things, every single day.
Yolanda R.Daughter of a resident
Dad came in with a wound that wouldn't close. Six weeks of their wound nurse and it was gone. The hospital couldn't believe the photos.
Brent T.Son of a rehab patient
I called at eleven at night worried about Grandpa. The charge nurse went and checked on him while I was on the phone.
Mikayla S.Granddaughter of a resident
They planned my discharge from the first week. When I left I had a walker, a shower chair and home health already scheduled. No scramble.
