What this means for your family
This facility offers a highly effective therapy program that many families credit for successful recoveries. However, given the recurring reports of slow response times and cleanliness issues, we strongly advise families to conduct an unannounced visit to check the facility's current state and to ask management specifically how they handle call-light response times and communication during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff are always making sure that your needs are met. Therapy team is very goal driven to assure that your loved ones make it back home safely.”
“The building is old, drab, and cheerless, the rooms are damned depressing, and at the very least could use some cheerful new paint.”
“My grandmother got ill very quickly and they were trying to call the doctors but could not reach them because of technical difficulty with the phone system... This left my 91-year-old grandmother moaning in pain for almost five hours.”
