I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Rooms- small, depressing very little sunlight Staff- unprofessional, poor return of phone calls, poor patient care Mother- came in for rehab and in 3 weeks developed a urinary infection, pneumonia, bed sores and blood clots. Admission team is nice, Physical therapy team is good however the majority of time the patient is spending with nursing and they are incompetent, have poor bedside manners and poor training. May God help this facility it's horrible!

I visited this facility

It is beautiful, and one thing that stood out was they had short term and long term care. The place was very nice, and the individual apartments were nice, updated, and looked very appealing. It would certainly be personalized for the person who will be living there. It was my favorite.

It is a good place with nice rooms. The people who work here are nice and provide good service. There are 144 residents. The food is fair. They have a good rehab center because my legs are getting stronger.

I am/was a resident of this facility

Came here after surgery. The location was really close to the hospital which was nice. The staff was friendly and the nurses kept on top of my pain and medication schedule. The therapy department was absolutely amazing. I made wonderful progress and got to go home quickly. Everyone knew me by name and even though it wasn't home it felt a close second.

I visited my friend that was here for physical therapy. This facility was clean and the staff were very attentive to him. I'm having a hip surgery soon and I will come here because they did such great therapy with my friend.
