I was skeptical about putting my Dad in a rehab facility but therapy he needed after breaking his leg was more than in home could provide after hearing so many negative things about them i toured this facility and i spoke with Amanda she made me feel comfortable and assured me if i had any concerns that she would personally address them, Well im so happy that my Dad got the therapy he needed and thank you to the wonderful therapy team especially Tim! the treatment he deserved if he ever need to return to a facility we will definitely pick this place again and again.
