Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab center especially was very helpful in my dads recovery.”
“The building needs some major overhauls, rooms look as they have not be painted or general upkeep from day to day wear in years. Dad room had cobwebs in the corner, broken tiles, missing moldings, you could see the outside from the side of the AC unit, and curtains dirty.”
“My father spent a month at Autumn Lakes in Old Bridge recovering from a pelvic fracture and it nearly killed him. He lost 25 pounds and developed 3 pressures wounds.”
