What this means for your family
While the facility has a strong rehab team and an engaged administrator, the high frequency of reports regarding slow response times and medication errors is concerning. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours and asking for a clear, written plan on how they handle communication with families during medical emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff treated her as family and was super understanding of her needs. She was not always the most cooperative but that did not hinder the kindness and care they provided.”
“My physical therapy was top notch. They were always kind and compassionate but kept me motivated to put in the work that's needed to get yourself home.”
“She would hit her call button several times at night, nobody would ever show. They would yank her up by her diaper.”

The facility shows recurring issues with care planning and assessment, medication labeling, and general quality of care across multiple surveys from 2023-2024. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the pattern of repeated problems in core care areas suggests ongoing challenges with consistent quality management that families should discuss during visits.
