My father, a veteran, has had a difficult last few years since his medical event. This is the first rehabilitation center within our surrounding area where he feels he is heard and carries a positive attitude towards his recovery. As his caregiver, it puts me at ease to know my father is comfortable where he is recovering. The staff are diligent with communication and his care.
