Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

I’ve been in many rehab facilities in the last 12 years and this is the only place I want to be for rehab. I was here a little over a year ago for 9 weeks. I can’t say enough about the care you receive and PT and OT are outstanding.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

My grandma was here for rehab and she absolutely loved the place ( she's a bit hard to please). She loved the food and staff. The staff genuinely cares about the patients and go above and beyond to help them.
