My mother entered this rehab facility after a month of illness and a week-long hospital stay, primarily because she had grown too weak to live on her own. After 16 days of care, she was strong enough to return home, and our family is incredibly grateful for the support she received. The staff — from the nurses to PT and OT — were consistently kind, professional, and encouraging. My mother made many wonderful connections with the team, which made her recovery experience even more positive. The admissions staff was also especially helpful, taking the time to answer all my questions and making the decision to choose this facility much easier. The building itself was clean and well maintained. My mother said most of the meals were very good, though occasionally they arrived a bit cold by the time they reached all the patients. However, the Thanksgiving meal for patients and families was delicious and truly enjoyable. Overall, rehab was extremely beneficial in helping my mother regain her strength and return home, and we deeply appreciate the care she received here.

Everyone that I've seen or spoken with is very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I really enjoyed the Thanksgiving meal with my cousin who resides here.

If I could give this place no stars I would this place is a joke. My mom was recently in this facility for almost three months before going to the hospital and passing away. I do not live in state so when I called to check on my mother they gave me a rude response and rushed me off the phone. When picking up her belongings we were asked if we knew what was in her purse. Of course we didn’t know as my mother was not able to speak in her last weeks. The only thing handed to us was a purse with a wallet and a phone. No clothes, jewelry, anything. You’re telling me after almost three months in this place that was all she had. Bs my mom had a necklace she loved to wear with a N on it. And I doubt she would’ve been in the without any of her own clothes. She left this facility to the hospital with trouble breathing due to having pneumonia for who knows how long. And severe diaper rash as she stated to a family member she would call and call and no one would come for hours to change and check on her. Please for the love of God do not send me your family members here unless you truly don’t care about them. I’m so disappointed in the lack of care and concern for my mother. She was not alone and she had many people who loved her. And they took advantage of her as most jails like this do. Shame on all of you staff and corporate for the way you do and run your business. This place is a sham and I wouldn’t recommend it even if it was a last resort.

A stunning renovated facility! I was definitely impressed with the upgrades. It’s always tough to find a great facility and healthcare provider, but this place exceeded my expectations. During the tour with Victoria, she made me feel at ease and relaxed during what could have been a stressful time. She helped me find the right home for our family member, and her bright smile and welcoming personality truly made me feel like I was at home. Highly recommend!!!

Clean, no odors in the facility, residents are clean and in fresh clothes. The facility recently got a remodel as well so it's aestheticly improved and has updated furnishings. Staff has been consistently kind and helpful when I reach out to speak to my father who resides there.
