Key Review Excerpts

The staff and Kei-Ai were absolutely wonderful during my dad’s time there rehabbing. The physical therapy department is constantly working with the patients putting them through the paces.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

My mother was here for a few months and it was always a mission to get her changed. Administration was not very helpful , the CNAs seemed to be overworked , like always some good CNAs and some lazy CNAS .

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

I am currently receding physical therapy to learn how to walk on my new prosthetic leg. My therapist Willie and June make it so much easier for me, when I feel hopeless they give me hope.
