What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its cleanliness and its skilled rehabilitation and therapy teams. However, families must be extremely vigilant regarding skin integrity and medication accuracy, as multiple reviews have documented serious failures in patient turning and tube management. We recommend asking for specific protocols regarding pressure ulcer prevention and medication verification during your tour.

Key Review Excerpts

The care was exceptional from the nursing staff to the physical therapist team and the administrators! The nurses kept my mom clean and she was fed 3 meals a day.
