Key Review Excerpts

Everyone in Physical Therapy is great but Alba performed miracles on Jim. When he left he could stand up with help, hold himself up alone for 5 minutes and actually take a few

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My experience is that while the facility and much of the staff are really good and friendly the Family has to be very involved and advocate for their loved one. When the staff, from the director to the cafeteria staff and the laundry staff see you there regularly I feel they are much more attentive to your loved one's needs.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

I first of all want To say thank you To the physical therapy team, they were awesome in my recovery and I am very independent now... Next, I want to say the head of place Wendy did not take me in consideration for the things I needed the food I had ordered the same thing for every day
