They will not require staff to be vaccinated, my sons house is now on their 4th employee, and 1 resident to test positive for covid in the last 3 weeks.Asked for vaccinated staff only and was told no. We have had staff spray him in the face with water when he was Misbehaving, rub his face in his our urine for wetting his bed. Both were handled but should have never happened to start with. Would not recommend to anyone.

My son was a inpatient and was just shy of turning 18 & he along with myself decided to terminate inpatient care, the lighthouse didnt like it and filed papers behind my back to get guardianship of my son. Very shady place. Theres definitely better ways to voice concerns. Im still wondering how that was even possible with him technically still a minor. The care itself was great but the strong arming to keep patients there is dead wrong.

They did our baseline testing for our school and the sport I am in and the group of therapists that came to our school were really nice. I learned more about concussions too while they were there.

Now I haven't been there personally but from what I here, this place has a lot to offer. If one is absolutely serious about getting his or her life altogether and make a effort, well then this is the place. I think... Well that's my opinion anyways for what it's worth.

Having been in an Auto Accident, My Physical Therapist ( Alan ) Was SUPPER AWESOME!! There's Never Been Another Like Him, He Just Knows How To Get You Standing And Walking And Motivated To Move Forward And Keep Pressing Onwards!! I've Had The Most Amazing Experience Working With Him And Life Changing , Life Altering Experiences That I Will Take With Me The Rest Of My Days, And I Will Share Them To All I Meet In My Life. I Say To Anyone With A Sever To Moderate Injury, Go There As "Out Patient", And Try My Words To Be True. You'll NEVER Regret Ever Going, Send Your Loved Ones There As
