Key Review Excerpts

The therapy team was incredible — knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly invested in my recovery. The nurses and aides went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and supported every step of the way.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

I did notice that those who were more helpless received slower response, which was disheartening.

Rehab patient · 2023★★★★

The case managers do not work with one another as each one tells you something different they also do not get their facts straight before telling you how the patient is progressing.
