About

shannon mcKee eddi santos William Ellsworth Jr They have the most friendly and caring staff and administrators. The facility is top notch, even the food is good. The rehabilitation staff are very proactive in their administration of there duties. If you don’t show up for you therapy they will come and get you in your room. A few times I just didn’t feel up to doing it. But my tech came to my room and gently encouraged me to just do a few exercises right there in my bed. I tried and soon felt better and went downstairs to the P. T. room and completed a full sessions worth of therapy
