Key Review Excerpts
“The building is definitely rundown. It’s a little older however, the care that is given inside namely by the physical therapist and nurses is top-notch so look past the outside and focus on the people inside if you’re considering this facility.”
“The staff there have been very instrumental in my mother's improvement. She arrived scared and worried. Jeannie in admissions was a comfort. The nurses have treated my mother as if they were her own parent and the rehab staff is impeccable.”
“This place was not operating with computers, but ALL paper only . So nothing gets documented here , leaving abused patients with no proof of mistake or negligence .”
