Excellent therapists, otherwise alarming care
I am grateful the therapists were excellent and many staff were kind, but my overall experience was mixed and alarming. My mom's rehab physician lacked rehab expertise, she went almost two weeks without pain medication, was left sitting in urine, developed a UTI that was misdiagnosed and tests were refused, and poor nursing care limited her mobility - contracted staff often ignored call lights or played on phones. The building is warm, beautiful and feels safe, but it's overpriced, understaffed, missing key services (speech/activities), and not worthy of a 4-star rating; I'd only recommend with extreme caution and constant advocacy.
