What this means for your family
While many families report excellent experiences with the therapy team and facility cleanliness, there is a recurring pattern of communication breakdowns and slow response times, particularly during off-hours. We strongly recommend that you visit during evening or weekend hours to observe staffing levels firsthand and ask the administration specifically how they handle call-light response times and family communication requests.

Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab staff are unreal. They work you to regain your own self. You will never leave rehab after a session saying to yourself I’m not tired I didn’t get enough of a workout.”
“Mom had to wait over an hour many times to be assisted to the restroom. They ran out of her pain medication and when it was there it took hours to get it.”
“My father was there for 3.5 days, they rushed into her room when I came to visit and locked me out to clean her. I heard her yelling my name in pain. With atrophied muscles they were very rough.”
