This facility features a highly regarded rehabilitation and activities team that many families find beneficial for recovery.

Key Review Excerpts
“The rehabilitation team was outstanding — knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in progress and recovery.”
“My aunt is a resident here, and most recently she’s been ranting and raving about how much she’s been enjoying herself. Bingo, karaoke, making creative shirts, etc.”
“As soon as you walk the door you smell urine. This place has not been renovated in years, there has been no upkeep at all. To the old floors, beat up doors, outlets, air-conditioning etc.”
