Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy team is top notch and helped with her balance, breathing and endurance.”
“Daily phone calls to keep me updated or advise me on the next step of my dad's care. If you are looking for a place for a loved one this is your place.”
“Look beyond the older building and see a very dedicated, caring staff. The nursing staff is hard working, and like in most health care facilities, understaffed.”
