Key Review Excerpts
“My sister and I spent every single day there with her for long days so we got to know the staff and they knocked it out the park! Kyle runs an amazing facility and they are like a family, embracing the patients and their families with heart and friendly smiles.”
“My rehab and occupational and physical therapy has been fantastic after my hip replacement surgery!! Everyone has been very helpful and kind to me!!”
“I deducted one star for the unpleasant experience with the social services office: communication was difficult and transparency as to the release protocol was a two hour back and forth.”

The most recurring deficiencies involve medication management, infection control, and care planning, appearing in nearly every survey from 2023-2025. While the facility reports correcting all cited issues, the repeated pattern of medication errors, inadequate care planning, and infection control failures across multiple surveys suggests ongoing systemic challenges that families should carefully consider.
