Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab team is beyond exceptional, understanding, patient yet firm enough to push you to meet your goals.”
“The facility is clean, welcoming, and well organized. It’s reassuring to know she is in such good hands, and our family is very thankful for the level of care and compassion shown every day.”
“I would ask very specific questions like what is the ratio of patients to nursing staff ? Most of the time they are short staffed. I noticed, during holidays the aides would call out and left the facility even more short staffed.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has a pattern of recurring fire safety and electrical system deficiencies spanning multiple years, with families filing two complaint reports about patient care quality and dental services. The most frequent issues involve fire safety systems, electrical equipment maintenance, and patient care standards. While all violations show correction dates, the persistence of similar fire safety problems across surveys from 2019 to 2024 suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges that families should discuss during visits.
