I was admitted to this Facility for19days. This place was very clean, the food was good, the nurses was were very kind, the staff was excellent, very caring, knowledgeable people to be around. The Therapist Jacalyn, Jim, Donica, Ranon, Alex etc were all very kind, knowledgeable. They all went out of there way to make sure I would be able to progress during my healing process. If i ever had to go back to Rehab this would be the place for me. EXCELLLENT PLACE !!!

Always a great experience for my almost 90 years young mama. They are going to put makeup on for her and do her hair and celebrate with sugarless ice Cream on her 90th birthday next week! Terry Tyler is an amazing nurse and her Staff are the best skilled nurses ever!

These bad comments are such a lie. I was reading all the negative comments and it seemed like it was a bad place but I always give something a try before judging, this was amazing. all the Nurses were great, the other elderly were sweet and very nice, and the the building overall was amazing. 10/10 don't look at the bad reviews, they just didn't like there time their.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
