We see a wide variety of cognitive, dietary and neurological diagnoses and both short term rehab patients as well as long term care residents. We are part of a newly formed healthcare company whose goal is to become the premier inpatient rehab provider in the communities we serve. Locally, we hope to build our long term care programming as well as continue providing fun, effective therapy for our short term rehab patients so they can return to home.
