Admissions department is extremely rude. Do not recommend. Would not send my worst enemy here.

Staff was pleasant and caring. The one shining spot was the PT which went smoothly 7 days a week. However, my elderly father was not given one of his key medications for 10 days. This oversight caused him to get sick all over again and go back to the hospital. Furthermore, the staff doctor was inconsistent. We were disappointed when the doctor promised to return the next day and didn't return…

Negative 5 star! Bad management, intoxicated staff, not a safe place to leave your loved ones! This place should be investigated by the Department of Justice!

Rude staff stood at the counter for 10 mins and they Didn't ask if we needed help or anything and when I asked for a pen they whispered in each other's ears as if it was not obviously enough.
