Key Review Excerpts

Therapy here has been absolutely wonderful—so supportive, encouraging, and truly focused on helping residents thrive.

Rehab patient family member · 2025★★★★★

My grandmother lived here. She fell and hit her head one time. They weren't even going to take her to the hospital! My parents had to go get her and take her to the ER in Pratt.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★☆☆☆

I could report several HIPAA violations but what's the point when management doesn't care what their staff does.
