Our goal is to help our patients get back to their homes as soon as possible. Through an intense rehabilitation therapy program and education, we strive to promote each person's independence and a timely return to participation in home and community based activities.
Our unit features 15 private rooms.
We are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). In our most recent CARF survey, we received no recommendations for improvement , which is an accomplishment by only 3% of all rehabilitation facilities served.
