Michelle McDonald
Only good thing about this place is the physical therapy. Everything else is ZERO STARS!!! The food is GARBAGE. They are really rude and dismissive. Care is very bottom of the barrel. I would NEVER recommend this place.

I visited my 90 yr old aunt yesterday, she is in your facility for rehab purposes and is doing well. The person I would like to commend is Rosyln, the woman who changed out the would bandages on my aunt. She is wonderful, very conscientious about her job and so caring. She is a keeper. My aunt wants only Roslyn to do any wound adjustments, thank you Roslyn.
