Key Review Excerpts

The staff went above and beyond making sure her post surgery wound was taken care of and they worked very hard at getting her up and moving with physical therapy, the staff were very uplifting and kept her spirits up every day.

Family member of rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

My biggest complaint is the failure to keep schedule with meds. While I fully understand these facilities are very busy and can get behind, when meds especially pain meds get delayed from schedule, there are spikes in the pain.

Family member · 2017☆☆☆☆

I met with Monica, the Admissions Director regarding my 88 year old mother that’s in the hospital and I have reached out several times and she has answered personally every time! Answered all of my questions! She put me and my sister at ease knowing our mom will be in good hands while in rehab!
