COMFORTABLE REHAB ACCOMMODATIONS

Rehabilitation is often a critical component of a resident’s care plan. Under the direction of the resident’s physician, a skilled team of physical, occupational and speech therapists evaluate the rehab needs of each resident and designs an outcome-oriented treatment program.
