My dad went for rehab. When we took him out of there he could not walk and he had a decubitis size of tennis ball on his coccyx. He was able to walk when he entered the facility. My dad thought he was gonna die there. He had to be admitted to hospital after we directly took him out. he was so bad off. He was sepsis when we took him directly to the hospital. Never would I take my dying dog there.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Even though my mother in law was only there for a short time they took wonderful care of her. The staff was wonderful. Morgan Sealey was wonderful and very helpful. The hospice nurse was very professional and kind. And took great care of her. I can’t thank everyone enough.
