Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy department is exceptional: dedicated, professional, and”
“I’m writing this review to share my deeply disappointing and distressing experience at this rehab facility following my hospital transfer on October 25th. I arrived with clear medical needs: a bariatric bed and a CPAP/BiPAP machine were supposed to be set up in advance. Neither was provided.”
