BEWARE!!!! If you get sick and have another option for health care take it. Our experience here was horrible. I would drive hours away to receive care if needed in the future. The communication between doctors, nurses, and therapists are awful and even worse with medical "professionals" to patient and patient family. It would take us 24-48 hours to get any response from them about anything. The machines would make noise if they ended, had an error, or needed to be changed. No one would come unless we called them several time. It would take them 20-40 minutes to come assist. We were told contradicting diagnosis on more than one occasion. Also the lack of care was very apparent when they were kicking us out the door and telling us there wasn't anything else they could do. I could go on and on about the bad experiences.

In everything, there were exceptions to our overall appalling experience mainly with a few nurses and aids that were caring for us. They went above and beyond our expectations. And for that we are truly grateful for them having assisted us.
