What this means for your family

While the rehabilitation therapy team is frequently praised for their effectiveness, the facility has seen a concerning trend of negative reviews regarding basic care, hygiene, and medication management. If you choose this facility, ensure you have a plan for frequent, in-person visits to monitor your loved one's care and medication administration, as communication and responsiveness appear to be significant weaknesses.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom unfortunately had to stay here after having a stroke... From giving wrong meds, to taking blood and not having an order for it. Not knowing how to care for stroke patients.

Memory care family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

Physical therapy and occupational therapy rock. They will challenge you meet or exceed expectations.

Rehab patient · 2023★★★★★

My friend was sent to the hospital from this facility... The bed wasn't made, there were 2 full drinks on the hospital tray, food on the tray, dirty hospital socks thrown on the bathroom floor, and used hospital gloves on the bathroom floor.
