What this means for your family
This facility is an excellent choice for patients needing intensive physical, occupational, or speech therapy, as many families report significant recovery success. However, you must be proactive in your communication; families should establish a clear protocol for updates, as multiple reviewers have struggled to reach staff via phone or receive timely information.

Key Review Excerpts
“From working with speech therapy, he’s now able to feed himself and also back to a normal diet. Physical and Occupational therapy has done a great job, working with him on walking again and dressing himself.”
“I was here a little while ago and they recently did renovations in the patient's rooms and bought brand new beds for every patient!!! The staff is busy, but very kind and helpful.”
“I was being cared for by a wonderful CNA. Don’t want to reveal the name. But like I and said everything was great, until they moved me to a three bed room. That was fine until I found out we’re sharing the bathroom with men.”
