“My friend was locked down here for 2 weeks of her 20 day stay allowed by insurance. No PT was done, no showers were allowed, and NO pain management was given for her injuries. Her Advil was taken away, as well as her prescription pain patches. She was not allowed visitors, or the freedom to walk around and try to regain her strength. No fresh air . This is NOT a rehab facility, this is a warehous…”
