They don't care at all. When the physical therapist is on vacation another should fill in. Not charge someone to sit all day when they are there for rehab. Worst nursing home in the area.

My Friend Robbie has been staying here and has mentioned how great the environment is, helping him feel at home and cared for /assisted properly. He speaks highly of a lady named Darian who "makes things happen there"-- I know Robbie is in good hands while he resides there the way he speaks of it and dont doubt anyone using the service there will be satisfied with it for either themselves or their loved one there.
