What this means for your family

While the rehabilitation therapy team is frequently cited as a major strength, the facility has a persistent history of serious complaints regarding nursing responsiveness and hygiene. If you consider this facility, we strongly recommend visiting unannounced during off-hours and weekends to observe staffing levels and response times yourself, as these are the most frequently cited areas of failure.

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.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

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.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★☆☆☆

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!
