Key Review Excerpts

“The physical and occupational therapists I worked with pushed me hard, challenged me, and kept me motivated in relearning how to walk. I know that my recovery has been so successful due to the amazing staff.”

Rehab patient · 2020★★★★★

“OT/PT teams are amazing! Jeff from PT is the highlight of our stay here. He is an advocate for his patients, especially if he hears and sees something that isn't done.”

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★☆☆

“My husband suffered a stroke, and when I brought him in last week, I requested an evaluation of his mood. Today, I returned because I was informed that he would be discharged, but there has been no communication about the next steps.”
