“Must say that Jenny is the best rehab therapist out there. She worked with my mom who we all thought was at deaths door and after her shunt surgery I was floored that she got her up and walking and now my mom is actually excited about her future. She has that spark in her eye and feels like she has her life back again. She is becoming so independent that I’m in awe. I couldn’t be more grateful for…”

★Rachale Coates-Schroeder · 2025-03-17 · via Google

“The social service director/representative of this faculty is extremely rude, and evasive. The rest of the staff is awesome. If you have a loved one who needs to go to this facility, visit often and pay attention to the medication that they give. They gave my loved one Norco and Xanex. Not a good combination for someone who had no pain.”

★★★★★Christi Hale · 2017-10-01 · via Google

“My mom is in skilled nursing here and our experience has been a positive one. The admissions staff was very helpful with placing my mom and the nursing staff (Pinky!) is supportive and communicative. There's positive energy there. They have a difficult job and I regularly thank them for the care they provide.”
