This facility's therapy department is highly regarded for successful recovery outcomes, making it a potential choice for short-term rehab. However, the recurring, severe reports of call-button neglect and medication errors are significant red flags. If you choose this facility, we strongly advise having a family member present frequently to monitor care and ensure medication and hygiene needs are met.

Key Review Excerpts

Miracles happened here and after 6 weeks of rehab, Dad walked out the door with a walker.

Rehab patient's family · 2023★★★★★

My husband was left on the toilet for over a half hour without help. He was considered dehydrated and I asked for thickened juice many times. Most of the time he didn't get it.

Rehab patient's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

The therapy department is wonderful, it is tremendous. They get you up and going. I am also impressed with the food, it’s not just food its cuisine.
