Key Review Excerpts
“I learned how to do everything from feed myself again, to walk again and to be “re-potty” trained, if you will at the age of 35. I could not have done it without the amazing aides, nurses, PT team and the staff in the office!”
“The staff goes above and beyond to make sure all my needs are met while I'm here for physical therapy. The therapy department is great.”
“The only complaint I have is the cleaning staff. The same cracker crumbs and popcorn was under the bed for his entire stay. It was a trade off I could accept for his excellent care and rehab.”
