This place should be shut down, my mother was there for 5 days to be cared for so my son her caregiver could take a vacation. My mom came back with a yeast infection, she had not been bathed in the 5 days we sent her clothes and it came back unworn, she has a rash where the depends had not been changed, Upon her release they had her sitting for hours before they came to bring her home. I will be making a formal complaint I will be talking to my lawyer NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS!!!!

I was admitted to this facility for 20 days from a broken knee cap. I was treated very well from everyone on staff from various shifts. I want to thank NuNu, Dillon, Isaac, Delfina, Grace, Eddie, Pam, for all of their assistance and understanding during my stay. The physical therapy department is excellent. They are all caring, understanding in all of the different ailments from all kinds of different patients. I want to thank Jacalyn, Jim, Claudia, Max and Ranon for all of the therapy and helpful ideas to continue my own therapy at home. The facility is very clean and doesn't have any kind of smell to it. I like the fact that they have ice water available all the time and staff will come around and ask if you would like ice refill and even a water refill. I would recommend this place for injury rehab and for your elderly loved ones.
