My mother went here after a hospital stay and was treated with dignity and respect. Food was good. She enjoyed the amenities and intense rehab. She was unable to walk when she arrived and by the time she left she was walking without assistance, just shy of 3 weeks. I'm so thankful we found this place after our experiences elsewhere.

While my experience with this facility is limited I noticed a definite atmosphere of healing when I visited the patient and discovered an employee taking care of her that I knew. The facility and grounds seem to be well taken care of. The care she was getting seemed to be good as well.

Nursing and support staff do a good job. I went to visit my father-in-law who is there for physical therapy rehab. The place is very clean and quite beautiful, inside and out. I especially loved their chapel area. It’s a very nice quiet place to pray or meditate. The visit was very pleasant.
