Very accommodating for us to visit a family member who is there for a few weeks for physical therapy we went while I was off school for spring break And what surprised me is you think the administration would be a stuck up person nope Laney Lopez the administration lady was very chill and let the resident go eat lunch with us on the resident's first day there I woul put your family member here if needed to even tho there might be newly renovated options Park Highlands is better

Employees are just there to collect a check. They do not care about the patients and don’t have enough employees. Place is not clean.
