This place is GREAT for rehab. The therapist really spend time on each pt and giving them a full workout. The rest of the staff also very nice & attentive. My only complaint is the FOOD. the food is horrible. Years ago, before the new owners, the food was great. They would even give you 2 options for food. They would even give you shrimp. Since the new owners, the food is a negative 2. Aside from the food, the care is good. The cleanliness is definitely a 10/10. The parking is also a bit tough so if you come after 8am, it's hard to find a spot. The Security here is great. You can be sure that your loved 1 will not be able to escape. You have to physically be buzzed in and out by a human. I loved that. I knew my mom would not be able to escape. The outdoor areas are great. Lots of shade and ample room. There could be 5 families outside & you wouldnt be on top of anyone. They have activities like bingo & dominoes and I would see 20 ppl all together playing & being active. They do have a little bistro They only serve espresso. No American coffee. They do have yogurt parfaits & lil Debbie snacks. The only sandwich they serve is ham & chs & cuban toast w butter. Vending machines. THE FOOD IS NOT GOOD. But the snacks are. Lol. The Care & attention is up there. I'd say 8 or 9/10. The food 2/10. The attention to the patients by the nurses, and the rehab dept are 100% worth it. If your goal is to have your loved one walk out of there, I highly recommend this center.
