they don’t even take care of their patients whatsoever. do not bring any sort of relative or elder here, im genuinely not sure how they have any sort of good reviews. they’ll definitely have some lawsuits coming their way soon.

Father in law was sent here for rehab and he said the nurses, one in particular has a real bad attitude. He needed help going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and the nurse the a urine container at him and told him to have at it. He is unable to use the bathroom by himself and ended up lying in urine all night long. He's also trying to recover from pneumonia and they put him in bed with no shirt. I wouldn't recommend this place so far.
