Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

I was a patient from June 29 through September 27, 2025. I am pleased with the care I received from Nurse Molly, she's knowledgeable, professional, and caring.

Former patient · 2025★★★★★

My mother was here for a few months and it was always a mission to get her changed. Administration was not very helpful... My mother got a UTI and complained of pain for days until she was finally sent to the ER
