I have not been a patient there but my wife is currently a patient. Her experience with the OT and PT has been excellent but her experience with diet is very mixed - she is a vegetarian but is only served chicken with her lunch or dinner.

Clean facility, generally attentive staff. Need some foodservice improvements. Microwave and refrigerator access for patients, digital menu choices and alternate menu options access via phone. Utilize Alexa for communication from rooms to nurses stations would be awesome.

Almost killed my family member. They sent him to the hospital from neglect. Do NOT send your loved ones here! They couldn’t follow dietary restrictions, safe swallowing restrictions or adequate care. They are severely understaffed and have to hire temporary workers who know NOTHING about the patients. I won’t be surprised if they lose their license when they try and get certified
