My name is Chris Winters, after my arrival I couldn't walk without a walker,I had a port to my heart for medication which was cared for 3 times a day with perfect time and care.nursing staff was caring and loving. My rehab team, tuff as I asked, my goal was to be able to walk again and have the strength to care for myself. 5 days a week they help with all regards to my safety and my goal. With the entire team at my side, I was able to walk again and had won the battle of bone disease. The food was on time and they would make almost anything for all the patients their. Even if the meal being served was in front of us, but didn't appeal they would make any requests promptly.<br>The one thing I must say is that I totally involved an pertisapated in all that they asked of me. Not everyone was in this portion in there life. I appreciate this home of recovery, well worth what ever it cost.
