My father was admitted to GGSH for skilled therapy. He was only there for 10 days where his health significantly declined. He was admitted to the hospital for dehydration, unstageable wound resulting in osteomyelitis, and sepsis and unfortunately died 4 days later. I would never recommend this facility.
