What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and admissions team, making it a strong candidate for short-term rehab. However, families should be vigilant regarding daily care; we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to observe hygiene standards and asking specifically about the current food service quality, as this is a frequent point of contention.

Key Review Excerpts

The physical therapy team was also outstanding. They were knowledgeable, encouraging, and really worked hard to help my relative regain strength and confidence.

Relative of resident · 2026★★★★★

Upon getting off the elevator, I smelled urine. This means patients are not being washed, cleaned and Depends changed frequently.

Visitor · 2024★★★☆☆

I wldn’t give my dog some of the food that I saw that was given to patients.
