terrible place aweful. I would have never allowed my mom to go there. my mom was there for over a month. her hair was never washed. I doubt they even gave her a shower there was never any staff members when u needed them. there were always alarms going off. when you would find someone who worked there they were sitting on there phone. its a shame. ppl who are sent for rehab r there becuz they need help.. plus when my mom was supposed to be released. they had no clue. and basically argued with us. we recently got a bill for a absurd amount tried to call the lady of course we got her voicemail. left a voicemail 2 wks ago have yet for her to call back. if u r looking or r in need of a rebate please do not use these one. its terrible.
