My sister was a resident here and the care she received was amazing and the night shift especially was diligent with her care and making sure she had what she needed.

Most disgusting staff I have ever seen. I feel bad for the residents and for the naive families that actually think these are decent people. I think what's important for the families to know is that State comes in to check out the facility and make sure everything is ran as it should be, unfortunately they get a heads up when state is arriving, which allows them to clean, adjust attitudes and whatever else they need to.

My mother was here for a few weeks while she was passing from cancer. The staff were very kind and accommodating to her needs. The building is clean, and well-maintained. I would absolutely choose this facility again, should the need arise.

We the family of our loved one are very upset with the level of care that this facility has given our family member from the day he was transferred into this rehabilitation hospital for care from a senseless automobile accident. No fault of his own I may add. They did not have medicine for his care, they were not prepared for his level of care needed for the trama he had sustained. They do not bathe him well. The meals arrive late like almost 7pm. Their has been occasional forget to bring him a tray as he is confined to a bed non weight bearing on his legs. The third shift does not answer his call light for medicine or bathroom needs. One night this week they did get him transferred to the port a toilet and just left him there. He then transferred himself without help back to the wheelchair. Until someone finally answered the call light to put him back in the bed. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ANY PATIENT'S. We feel if people do not call and report these things to staff he would not get proper care. What happens to people who have no family or advocates. (Zero 🌟) There are a few nurses and CNA that care and the rehabilitation folks have been awesome. Hire people management that desire to help people not just a paycheck...

My father stayed here for five days and went so far down hill from their horrible care that he wound up back in the hospital. They brag about a gourmet menu on their website. They fed him a piece of hard bread with pizza sauce on it at almost 9:00 in the evening and called it "Pizza Surprise". Sometimes they didn't bring him food at all. The staff was cruel and uncaring. This is not a place for your loved ones to get healthy. I feel bad for the patients there that have nobody to advocate for them. Please read the one star reviews here and believe them, I wish I had.
