Therapy is an important focus
Rehabilitation and therapy receive both strong praise and major complaints.
Positive reviews mention therapy support as a key reason families would recommend the community, including help after orthopedic surgery and general rehab progress. Other comments are far less favorable, describing a very bad experience during a post-surgery physical therapy stay. Together, the reviews suggest therapy quality varies by unit and individual experience.
