Both physical and occupational therapists work hard with my brother in law. He is making steady progress under their careful guidance. The team also works him hard, which he needs! Emma from the activities department is wonderful. She knows everyone and always has a smile and cute comment for everyone she sees. The rehab our family member is getting is really good!

Only given 2 stars to account for the staff that did their job. I visit my uncle and the other day I visited his light was already on when i got there. I seen one nurse running around and no other staff. I was there for 20 minutes and dont know how long my uncle had the light on before that so I went to find someone to help and saw all the other workers standing near each other on the other side laughing looking at their phones not paying attention and watched the one lady working alone. I tried asking the people standing around for help and was was ignored i had to get the lady working and She apologized she was visibly overwhelmed but helped my uncle to a bed pan but he already went in his pants. It made my uncle feel bad cause now he needed changed and the lady who helped got him and his bed cleaned but there was a lady who came to my uncle's door for her cause her relative needed help with something and wasnt getting help so that nurse had to leave to get the other person medical attention and then came back to help my uncle get cleaned. She said sorry for having to take a break from my uncle to help the other lady because it was an emergency of course i understand that. Then another worker finally came to help but the other lady helping was already done. Not safe or fair to the ones who do their job plus others jobs. My family reported this to a hotline and are actively looking for somewhere else to take him for rehab. Don't go here!
