Key Review Excerpts
“The staff of therapist were wonderful and tremendously helped my Mother with speech, occupational, and physical therapy, which I am truly thankful for.”
“The only complaints that I have are: whenever the facility needed anything they called his daughter instead of me. When I brought that to their attention, they said that hers was the only phone number they had although I had given them my info multiple times.”
“Only complaints I hear from patients the lunch and dinner meal are not appealing. I've hear they would like to have home cooking food, food they grew up on.”
