What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts
“The administration was wonderful!! They did a great job at communicating with family to help facilitate the necessary information for a smooth discharge. Unfortunately the nursing staff is not very attentive to the patients.”
“I spent 3 months here and loved it! Made a bunch of new friends and had a lot of fun! The Occupational and Physical Therapy staff is the best by far!!!”
“When that business office closes for the day all professionalism leaves the building too. They don’t answer the phones, and they won’t give you an update on your loved ones.”
