Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy has been outstanding. The physician's and nursing staff are wonderful and very caring. As busy as they are, they have taken the time to get to know my father and our family.”
“The care by the staff and therapy department was excellent! They sincerely cared about his well being and progress. At times, there was inconsistency with food and night time care.”
“They are simply NOT equipped to deal with this type of patient, and should have turned him away to a skilled nursing facility. There are no bed alarms, and the first night he fell face down in the bathroom.”
