We visited my mother-in-law today. She has been here before. It was our first choice for her current needs when she needed rehab services. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Patients have access to so many nice areas. Everything is clean. It's a beautiful place. And most importantly my mother-in-law really likes it as well.

The place was beautiful and comfortable, but the receptionist at the front desk was unfriendly. Luckily our interaction with her was short, we enjoyed visiting our loved one in the comfort of his room.

This is a lovely facility. The staff was friendly and food was good. Therapists were friendly and 1 CNA was fabulous! I believe his name was Wyatt. He took great care of my mom. We only had an issue with 1 nurse.
