What this means for your family
This facility has a highly regarded rehabilitation team and proactive discharge planning, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, given the recurring reports of slow response times and inconsistent care, families should visit frequently, maintain direct contact with the nursing station, and ensure they have a clear point of contact for medical emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapist, Nupur, and occupational therapist, Sheila, were excellent and really helped me regain strength. I am not going to lie; there were issues but management did straighten most everything out to my satisfaction.”
“My Mom was at Post Acute Care for a little more than 2wks. 1st Flr (112). She had a great team of caregivers Drs., Nurses, Therapists and Aides.”
“I found my loved one unconscious with low blood pressure and unresponsive, and I had to call 911 myself because the staff did nothing. The facility is dirty, smells bad, and the staff seem like they don’t care about the patients.”
