Key Review Excerpts

Physical Therapy was my mission and that staff was upbeat, caring and prompt. Administration and nursing were slightly less than perfect with the usual routine of extremely helpful to less than agreeable.

Rehab patient · 2020★★★★

this is the most filthiest place I have ever seen in my 10 years of being a Healthcare administrator. Staff has no compassion or dignity at all.

Long-term resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

My sister at 34 years old was admitted here, she had previously been to 4 other facilities, and this place was by far the worst care we had seen.
