My brother was admitted to this facility for rehab rehabilitation after a lengthy hospital stay. He was there one week was able to regain enough strength to go home. The staff at this facility is amazing. They have catered to his needs. They also were supportive and were able to help him with his needs going home. They provided referrals to doctors made appointments and got assistive equipment for the home. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is putting their loved one in a rehab rehabilitation facility.

Our mom was recently admitted to this facility, and we truly can’t thank the staff enough for the excellent care she has received. The nurses have been incredibly caring and compassionate, which has meant so much to our family. We’d also like to give special thanks to the physical therapy team—especially Russel and Kelsey—for their patience, encouragement, and dedication during our mom’s sessions. We are very grateful for everything they’ve done and would highly recommend this facility to others.

The honest truth is that this place looks nothing like the photos shown on the website. In reality, it is much older and only in somewhat acceptable condition. There is also no parking available at all. Unfortunately, I’m unable to take photos to show the actual condition of the property Due lots of seniors and there privacy and the rooms are all share with others
