While the facility has a history of effective physical therapy, the recent surge in reports of neglect and medication errors is deeply concerning. If you choose this facility, ensure you have a family member present daily to monitor medication administration and hygiene, as the current staffing levels appear insufficient to meet basic needs.

Rehab patient · 2018☆☆☆☆

My mother has been in your facility for over a week and and you stuck her in a room with no tv no phone and a woman who screams all night. Thefood is so salty I couldn't eat it even.I hope somebody can at least get her a tv.
