Key Review Excerpts
“The PT staff were great. Felix and Yolanda worked to strengthen my legs and improve my balance. Their instructions were clear and helpful.”
“My father had been transferred here for only a short term rehab stay... the entire staff assisting my father have been wonderful not only for his immediate needs in PT/medication, but also with assistance with social services and home healthcare after discharge.”
“My mom left there after 6 days with severe dehydration, hallucinations, severe rash, gash on her leg and a rash like I’ve never seen before, from them putting a diaper on her and letting her lay in it!”
