“Warm and welcoming upon entry. Beautiful birds to enjoy in the lobby. Friendly staff. I look forward to learn more about their outpatient physical therapy group.”

★★★★★Fayrene Hefner · 2026-05-29 · via Google
“I was there to visit a friend who was in the home for rehab. Easy check in. I only saw the lobby area where we had our visit time. The lobby was an open area with chairs placed around the sides of the walls; it was very clean. There was a large bird cage in one corner, a piano, and a TV on the wall.”
