Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is very clean and the admissions department is great and answered all my questions. I definitely recommend sending your loved one here.”
“The therapy team goes above and beyond in improving the patient's quality of life and returning them to their prior levels of functioning and mobility. Lots of fun activities are provided daily.”
“One star for the good work of the week day staff including PT and aides. But this is a dangerous, dehumanizing, run down place for your loved one. Especially if you're not there looking in on them. Weekends are warehousing patients through over medication.”
