It is an older facility but very clean. Staff is friendly, considerate, helpful in all ways. They gave excellent care to my son recovering from brain surgery. Check out the full services they provide.

I was terrified when I pulled in the Driveway/Entrance to this facility. My mother is here and the human factor of bringing/leaving a loved one is hard in and of its own self. I had many doubts about this facility. The way that my Mom has been treated here is absolutely beyond Stellar, the staff is absolutely amazing. The way the staff makes a difficult situation for patients and patients family and friends is exceptional. I can leave to go home and know that my mother is being treated with respect and dignity. "If you or or someone you know" is in this stage in life, This is where "WE" Belong
