The staff is rude food was so bad I would never feed my pet you tell them you have to go potty they tell you go potty in a diaper would leave you in it run run from there dirty dirty place should be closed
Mindy Jett
Big enough to give all the cares needed, PT, OT, nursing, activities, etc. Small enough to have that actual family feel. Great environment of people who show up everyday because they care. Tucked away in beautiful Manitou and gorgeous, therapeutic views of Pikes Peak. The nurses are absolutely amazing and they're CNAs rock!
