“The therapy team was excellent, helping her regain strength and mobility with great encouragement.”
“I was in this place for a week in June 2024, rehabilitating from a broken leg & arm. It was a nightmare! They are understaffed, the elevator was broken, the showers were broken, the TV didn’t work & patients were ignored & uncared for.”
“The wound care team did a great job taking care of me. I'd like to give a special thanks to Lilian hernandez who would come late at night to ck on me and take of my wound.”

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
