No experience, because admissions would never return my calls. I would not recommend them because they did not get back to me with answers that I needed. Not very professional.

Mom, I am sorry that this place was our only choice. Please know that we made the best decision that we could at the time.

“Short Staffed” was used for a lot of excuses. The staff was kind from what I saw but but I absolutely hate the way they treated my loved one. Do not send your loved ones here! They over-medicated my loved one and they couldn’t even stay awake long enough for visits. When staff was asked what medication my LO was given in the early afternoon, we were told My LO was given their nighttime meds because that’s the time someone was there to give it to them. If my loved one was asleep, they skipped therapy and billed us. Doctors said two different things about the injury and never agreed on a diagnosis, so they just kept my LO drugged instead. Then they complained my LO wasn’t getting better or improving but with the drugs they were giving them I see why! If you wanted to speak to a specialist or doctor to keep up to speed….good luck. I am only assuming the people barking orders and the admins are the problem. Run …..run far away. I will give you one extra star for rescuing your therapy barn cats.
