What this means for your family
This facility offers a modern, clean environment and a highly regarded therapy team, making it a potential candidate for short-term rehab. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding slow nursing response times and poor communication. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staff responsiveness firsthand before making a decision.

However, significant concerns persist regarding inconsistent nursing care, poor communication, and reports of residents being left unattended for extended periods. While the physical environment is frequently described as clean and well-maintained, the quality of care appears to vary significantly depending on the staff on duty.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The building is clean and newly refinished. The rehab team is incredible! Every PT, OT, and SLP are personable and provide the highest level of care to help patients go home.”
“Worst place. The aides are great, but most of the nurses are liars and lack communication skills. We can not get anything done.”
“One of the most distressing concerns is how long residents, including my relative’s roommate, are left waiting to be changed. There have been times when the smell in the room was overwhelming due to delays.”
