The activity supervisor, Carmen, was exceptional. The love, care and engagement she exhibited with my mother in law, Deloras Marshall was commendable!

I was a resident at this establishment for a month in September for rehab. Today I came by to visit everyone because I miss them all. This place is such a happy place. Everyone is so nice. The care was way beyond I could ever imagine and rehab was really amazing. I hope I will never need a rehab center again but if I do I will definitely come back here.
