Key Review Excerpts

The occupational and physical therapists were great and they helped me out with making sure that I could do the needed tasks at home. When it came to the nurses on the floor for the many rooms and people they had to care for, they were under staffed by far.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★☆☆

My mother was there for 4 weeks, didn't clean her wounds or her cv line port. Her port was clogged, and she ended up with a secondary infection.

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

Jessie is by far the kindest, most caring social worker we have had the pleasure of working with. She genuinely cares about the patients. She works tirelessly to address their needs and is excellent at communicating with the family.
