DO NOT waste your time trying to get any health care services, this is the worst company . They do not even show up when you have an appointment. They couldn’t care less about doing their job , all they do is watch your tv and have you sign their I-pad so they can collect from peoples health. The muse does not even take your vitals. The physical therapist does absolutely nothing to help you walk. They should be shut down.
