What this means for your family

This facility's rehabilitation therapy team is highly regarded and often produces positive outcomes for short-term patients. However, families should be aware of persistent reports regarding slow response times to call lights and communication gaps; we recommend visiting frequently and establishing a direct line of communication with a specific nurse or social worker.

Key Review Excerpts

The rehab team also gave me the tools... I was able to lose 50 pounds, correct my breathing problems and improve my pulse ox to near perfect.

Rehab patient · 2020★★★★★

My sister-in-law is a relatively new resident... We have noticed improvements in both her physical and cognitive functioning since moving here. PT and OT are great.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★

My mother-in-law was left for over an hour with her pants down and not 1 person would answer her call light or help her.
