I recently had a family member that was transferred here for rehab services. The hospital she was at before, allowed her to get a painful bedsore. This was a great change for her. She can be a little hard to deal with. She enjoyed the food here, and better yet she was able to eat it. She received better physical therapy. They actually motivated her to get better. The whole team was great and we have nothing but great things to say and gratitude for the staff.

Pleasant grounds, which enable patients to have some time in the fresh air. Nurses were very good.- at administering the floor, making sure patients’ medical needs were met, responding to patient questions, and showing sensitivity. Victoria in particular stood out for persistently - but appropriately - encouraging me to pursue a particular treatment, which I ultimately did to my great benefit. And Frank was always willing to to answer my many questions about what the different medicines did. CNAs were all friendly and very hard-working - their jobs by definition require going above and beyond. The PT and OT departments were also very good.
