Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab team is AMAZING! They are very kind and sweet and care about their residents. The lovely lady in activates (I think her name is Chassidy) is a God send.”
“My grandmother was there . Hospice called to see how she was doing they said good. That's how good they check on their patients she passed away the night before. The social worker doesn't return phone calls.”
“The worst place. My mother was here for 2 1/2 months after she had a stroke. They never told me they weren’t doing rehab. She ended up with a $10,000 bill that had to be paid.”
