What this means for your family
This facility is praised for its clean environment and effective therapy programs, particularly by recent rehab patients. However, because there are historical and recent reports of understaffing and poor communication, we strongly advise families to conduct an in-person tour and ask management directly about their current staff-to-patient ratios.
