Key Review Excerpts

The physical therapy department is over the top, awesome as well. They have new and modern equipment,

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

I came in with big wounds on my left foot after my amputation and now my wounds are completely healed. The physical therapists helped me so much and pushed me to my limit.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

My father was transferred to this nursing facility from another facility because the other place (in Long Beach) was a nightmare. ... At first glance I could tell that this was a safe and clean environment with attentive staff.
