My brother-in-law is currently here for rehabilitation and my impressions never having been in a convalescent hospital before. It could use an Update. It looks a little tired. But the staff, the nurses, especially are great. We have found them to be very communicative for keeping us informed and updating us on our patients condition. And my brother-in-law really likes the two different therapy nurses. He’s had speech therapy and mobility occupational therapy.

The evening nurse Lynn was the best 👌. She was funny, helpful, very considerate of my father's needs and I looked forward to seeing her friendly face. The day nurses were also very friendly and helpful. The place was clean, didn't smell like other Care Centers.

They took wonderful care of my brother before he passed on. The nursing staff even re-homed his old dog when he was no longer able to care for her. Truly above and beyond.

Quiet, quaint, friendly, and thoughtful Care Center. Everytime me and my family go to visit my uncle here we have had a great experience. Staff has been very good to my uncle which makes a very positive impact on the whole family. My cousin works part time there now and this has help lots and shows that this care center really cares for family and their friendliness. I like the new sign in process at the front desk. I simply put my information in the kios sign in and when I leave sign out. Lots of parking with handy cap accessible parking spots. Nice meeting rooms to be with the whole family or outside at one of there large courtyards. I would recommend this Care Center for anyone that likes this kind of atmosphere and amenities for there loved one.
