Key Review Excerpts

My husband came from another nursing facility with sacral pressures and within two weeks I seen the progress and now almost heal. Thank you for the caring staff.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The CNAs deserve special mention; a demanding job the Townhouse team worked together to make sure patients were kept clean, essential needs met and linens were changed daily. OT and PT were terrific at teaching patients the skills they needed to go home safely.

Family member of rehab patients · 2025★★★★★

My grandfather was placed here yesterday and I was so worried about the care he'd get with his limited communication at 93 years old...but Townhouse has been amazing with him. Peter and Heidi are wonderful staff members and so attentive.
