What this means for your family
This facility is an excellent choice for patients focused on intensive physical or occupational therapy, as their rehab team is consistently praised for achieving great results. However, families should closely monitor wound care and skin integrity, as one serious report of neglected pressure sores was documented. It is also recommended to verify communication protocols with the administrative team to ensure timely updates on care.
