What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for short-term rehabilitation, as multiple families report significant physical progress through their therapy programs. However, you must be extremely vigilant regarding nursing care; families should specifically ask about the current nurse-to-patient ratios and how call lights are monitored during night shifts to prevent neglect.

Rehab patient · 2026★★★★★

The rooms are large, nice and clean. I was able to see my loved one receive physical therapy and saw them improve physically and cognitively.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

They don’t have enough nurses, so if you miss yourself, I have to get cleaned up. It could take up to several, and I do mean several hours.
