Key Review Excerpts
“WK Extended Care/Progressive Care has the best rehabilitation therapists. I have a rare muscle disease where I lost my ability to walk and no arm strength. They gave me my life back.”
“The therapist and nurses that i came in contact with were very nice. Some of the cnas are very unprofessional when speaking with family.”
“I will say the physical therapy dept is great. After 3 wks I could motivate with walker. The other part of my stay dealing with so many issues took its toll on me. You cannot get coffee, ice, water is out of the sink in your room. Difficulty getting my medication.”
