“My husband was a short term patient to receive physical therapy after a severe injury. I was a little apprehensive about the care he would receive. My husband received absolutely top of class care from everyone. The staff were extremely polite and went out of their way to take extra special care of all his needs. He loved everyone who took care of him. All the staff were treated him like a family …”

“This is a horrible place to put your loved one. Especially on weekends. The staff are rude with bad attitudes. Often seen on their cell phones, even the nurses riding with cell phones out video talking and listening to music on their carts. Staff sitting on nurses station desk gossiping. While poor residents just wandering around. Once I came and saw a man in the hallway unattended on a shower bed…”

“THE ONLY TREATMENT AVAILABLE HERE IS NEGLECT STAFF ARE FULL OF DISCONTENT AND BAD ATTITUDES Staff care nothing for treating patients with respect and dignity. They care nothing for cleanliness or kindness. They'll let you sit in your soiled bed for as long as they want. No assistance with the bathroom. People are here for rehab. They are supposed to help you get better. As soon as my mom arrived…”
