My dad was placed in this facility from Monday night until Sunday morning. In that time they managed to miss 2 days of diabetic medication sending his glucose levels to over 400! He was then admitted back to the hospital in the middle of the night now unresponsive. On top of horrible medical care, they also managed to lose some of his belongings when packing up his room while we waited in the ER with my father.

Recently, my mom stayed at Lake Taylor Rehabilitation Center. Prior to my mom's arrival, Ms. Henry decided to wait on me instead of leaving for the day after learning I would be late for our appointment because I had a long commute. Once there, she patiently explained the admissions process and answered all my questions so that I was comfortable with the decision to have LTRC take of my mom's needs.

The level of professionalism from staff as well as the cleanliness of the facility stood out. In life, we don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. Needless to say, Lake Taylor Rehab
