Key Review Excerpts

Dropping by unannounced, I sometimes find my relative has not bathed/showered in some days, such that it is an unpleasant experience/odor.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★☆☆

The physical therapists are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about their patients' progress.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★★

There are mice in the facility and at least one broken window they refuse to repair. The front door lock is broken and has been for months, allowing anyone in or out at anytime day or night.
