My mom was there for rehab. The food was not good, PT hardly got her up. The drinks they served were in small cups, I had to request 2. The nurses did fairly well especially Mark on the night shift. There were gnats in her room, and ants in her windowsill. I was not pleased with the level of "supposed care". I could not wait until insurance had them release her. In addition poor communication from social services. The positive was that the administrator provided a bed for the family to sleep in. There was no adjustment for AC note to yourselves ... elders do get colder than other age groups. I am still shaking my head... I would never refer this facility to anyone.
