Key Review Excerpts

The physical therapy team has been especially helpful. They have been very patient with me and have helped me regain my strength.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

My aunt was transferred here after her open heart surgery. She tells us that not ONCE BUT TWICE they left in the bathroom for over 2 hours with no way to call for help.

Post-surgery family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

The staff is professional and polite. Building is historical, yet we'll maintained. My wife's rehabilitation went well with help from the physical therapists, nurses, and doctors.
