    Clean, compassionate rehab with issues

    I placed my mom here after a hospital stay and was impressed by the clean, updated, warm facility, attentive and compassionate staff, and outstanding PT/OT rehab - she made rapid progress. Dining was plentiful and flexible, the director and team stayed in close contact, and call lights/room cleaning were prompt. My only concerns were inconsistent skilled nursing at times (delays with pain meds, a few rude night staff) and a dated exterior/lack of garden. Overall I'd recommend it for rehabilitation and caring personnel, but be aware of occasional clinical/staffing issues.
