“The rehab place did nothing for him and eventually pushed him out. Rehab Select at Shelby Ridge brought my dad in and there has been tremendous improvement with my dad since day 1.”
“The nurses are not great you push call button they may come hour or two later they want to stay at nurse station and just talk”
“She has been in Shelby ridge for 6 days with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING being taken care of except her meds ( which may not be right) and shots for diabetes. Her diabetes has run as high or more than 380!!”
