This place was nasty, dirty, and just plain stinky. My 82 year old mother was sent here from Kettering Hospital for rehab. for a severely broken clavicle that had to be surgically repaired. Basically, her insurance decided where she could or couldn't go. As I looked at my old frail mom laying in a bed that was as old as she was, I couldn't take it. We weren't in this place for an hour before I told mom I was taking her home. I will figure her care out as I was not about to leave her in this nasty, disgusting place. Do not let your elderly parent or loved one stay at this place. I would have given zero stars if that were possible.
