What this means for your family
While the rehabilitation therapy team is frequently praised for their effectiveness, the facility has a recurring pattern of serious complaints regarding cleanliness, fall prevention, and staffing levels. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend an unannounced tour to inspect the actual living conditions and asking specific questions about their fall-prevention protocols and nurse-to-patient ratios.

Key Review Excerpts
“However, what this center did provide was caring rehab therapists who strengthened my dad in two weeks time to return to his nuring home. Chris, PT, and the other therapists knew my dad by name and worked as a team to provide care for my dad.”
“The staff members I spoke with, several of whom are directly involved with my dear wife Mary Lou’s care, did a wonderful job of communicating with me and describing their work with Mary Lou.”
“The smell of stale urine was immediately overwhelming. The furniture was all in a terrible state of disrepair. The mattress on the bed was paper thin.”
