What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and rehabilitation outcomes, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, families should be aware of significant, recurring reports regarding hygiene and staffing levels. We strongly advise conducting an unannounced visit during a weekend or evening shift to observe the level of care consistency firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts

The rehab staff and nurses paid such exceptional care. Jo-Anna was so thorough and attentive during his therapy sessions and he still to this day uses the same techniques that he acquired from her.

Memory care family member · 2021★★★★★

The nursing staff is extremely experienced, caring and kind. The therapy was creatively focused on exceeding goals. The facilities were clean and odor free, unlike most places.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

Another resident physically assaulted her, and instead of treating it seriously, staff acted like it was a joke. When we asked about getting the police involved, staff became rude, defensive, and eventually hung up the phone.
