What this means for your family
Laurel Court is an excellent choice for families prioritizing high-quality rehabilitation and a clean, home-like environment. The therapy and nursing teams are the facility's greatest assets. However, if your loved one requires strict medication schedules, you should specifically ask about the protocols for medication administration and responsiveness during weekend shifts.

“I came with a total hip replacement and broken sacrum. My perception of a one over the cuckoo's nest atmosphere was instantly dissolved as I was welcomed with open arms and total professional Care from the nursing staff.”
“I was very impressed by how this facility felt more like a home environment. The staff was nice and welcoming, I felt secure and at ease letting my aunt live there.”
