The worst facility ever in my book. They almost killed my father. He was there for rehabilitation for falling and they let him fall not once but 3 times and the last one was real bad. His whole forehead was once big bruise and he couldn't even talk or use his limbs. I asked did they send him to the hospital for a CT. The nurse said they did not. I hit the roof and they had an ambulance there in 10 minutes. Then they tried to trick me into signing some papers releasing them of liability. I refused! This is the kicker....I went into the office following that to get a copy of his records. They denied me access unless I signed them liability release papers again.So I asked for a Corporate telephone number to call. Then she says they have no Corporate, only a private owner and gave me a piece of paper with there attorneys number in it and said he handles that stuff for them. Come to find out, they definitely do have a Corporate which I had a long talk with. Upon his release I received the papers then which only listed one fall "not 3" and literally lied to cover there buttons. Please do not send your loved ones to this facility! Very unprofessional people here!

My mother fell just a few weeks ago at home. She had surgery for a hip fracture and after being released she went to stay at Pruitt Health for rehab for around 10 days. She said they were amazing. The staff were very caring. She said the rehab was extremely helpful. The room was very clean also. I met the staff as I went and visited Mom each day until she could come home. It is such a relief to know my Mom was taken care of during her stay.

My Granddaughter, who is 31 years old and their youngest patient right now, has been there for the past week for rehabilitation and she is loving it and already showing improvement. The facility is kept very clean and the staff is quick to respond to requests. They are friendly and caring. We both are happy and would recommend to anyone who needs help.

From the person at the front desk to the RN’s you get the best if care. Just work with them giving as much detailed information on your mom and they will work with you. They also have the kindest therapists from physical to occupational to speech therapy around care for my mom. I feel comfortable taking my mom back there the 2nd time due to my having surgeries first go around and again when she feel at hone the next tine. Their food is freat and my mom is such a picky eater too. You just have to tell them what they don’t like to drink ir eat . Thank Pruitt for taking care of my mom. They are like a big family up there and so down to earth.
