Took care of a loved one in their rehabilitation center. It started out fine but between their COVID restrictions, shuffling of staff in my loved ones case, and basically pushing my loved one out without much help, it went from fine to bad. Definitely not happy with their efforts to help our family. Goals not met and it really appears like theyre pushing their patient out than helping them and their families. Do not recommend their rehab facility.

My mother was working here. she lost me to foster care as a child for abuse. my mother was found abusing patients here and instead of charging her with crimes against patients they instead pushed her to resign so patients and family have no idea why their family dies or has injuries. these places are cash cows that treat elderly very badly and they put the POC in the basement when my mom was employed their. unsafe place. she has harmed ppl in many facilities and because the establishment doesnt want bad press they ignore so she goes to the next place and harms patients. this has gone on for

After the 1st vaccine she double pneumonia and her copd flared up. During her second stay at

My dad had a horrible experience at this facility. Everyone seemed nice at first but he was admitted on a Thursday or Friday and although we're both vaccinated they wouldn't let me in to see him. Then the weekend hit and my dad complained he had no TV or he needed assistance and no one was around. We tried to call and call and we couldn't reach anyone so I drove there and had his nurse come out and speak to me. He was in a room with no TV for three days and no one cared. He just sat there rotting in his room for days!!! How can that happen to another human being? The social worker got involved
