This place is excellently run. Ali the nurses are top notch. I have exceptional regards to the cna Michelle R. She made sure I got up, stay clean and ate. She made sure I was not in bed eating. I cannot say enough nice things about her. She is a very good cna. Katon was excellent, very patient, he pushed me to do my best. Just a very good physical therapist. He got me walking with a walker which I could not doin a while. The food was a 4. Susan was very nice a special person to the floor. I looked forward to the special things she did and she always made me happy. This rehab I would recommend. The crew is always cleaning. Thank you.

Rooms are kept clean also staff management I found to be also helpful with basic needs alongside the nurses and other staff… which made for a pleasant experience . My needs were met in a timely manner which then caused me less anxiety
