I highly recommend this facility for anyone doing bounce back or long term care. The therepy team I feel are the best in the industry. Everyone there from the administrator and the office staff, all the nurses and cna's, and the housekeeping maintenance and kitchen staff are all so caring and professional. I was there for 90 days and they gave me my life back
