Key Review Excerpts
“The therapists are wonderful with the patients and very accommodating. But I think they need to hire more aides. My sister and sister in law were patients in there. They and other patients complained numerous times about not having their light answered when they needed help.”
“My father was given the wrong medication that could have been fatal. It set him back from progressing in his rehabilitation. You barely can get the attention of the nurses because they are so overloaded with paperwork.”
“My mom was here and loved the place. would recommend.”

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
