If I could leave zero stars I would! Had a family member here for rehab and it’s like the staff expected her to be able to take care of herself! Waited for over 30 min to have assistance to use the restroom! I don’t really know what’s going on here, but they need to figure it out and quickly. The food wasn’t good ether. My family member was served dry spaghetti noodles with what looked like lasagna next to it and was expected to eat it. Gross! Also, what kind of health care establishment only gives patients baths twice a week!?!?!

If you are looking for a place with little or no care. Send your loved one here. The nurses and Nurses assistants they have are awesome. Very caring and nice. Just very overworked and stretched way too thin. Not near enough . I am guessing but ratio I can see is about 41 patients to a Nurse and 2 PA's. So get ready to stay with your loved ones.<br>My Grandma in here for rehab. Not sure a PA at all assigned for rehab unit. I have spent day after day with her. Food is not good. Housekeeping very scarce. Bathroom changes scarce. Sorry to say. I wish I could say it was wonderful. I really do. I appreciate all the Nurses. PA"s. And all the help that you people gave to my 100. Year. Old Grandma. Thank you. You will always have a special place in my heart.
