Key Review Excerpts
“The Physical/Occupational Therapy team were fantastic - very patient with our 90 year old dad, trying everything, everyday, to get him”
“The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, When I came here I couldn't walk, but now, I am able to walk with a walker, thanks to the rehab that I had.”
“Unfortunately, our experience with this rehabilitation center was disappointing. My mother-in-law stayed for three weeks, and we expected a certain standard of care that was simply not met. She repeatedly asked for assistance with basic needs, but her requests were often ignored or delayed.”
