My loved one stayed here briefly for some rehab care, and overall I think they did a good job. It was clean and well kept, and the staff seemed friendly and caring.

Everyone is very helpful and friendly. I would rate the meals a 5 on a scale of 1-10. Outdoor space is very nice. Need a better covered area for smokers. Activities are plenty and have some really good entertainment that comes in. Receptionist are great.
