Our rehab gyms are active and energetic areas providing an uplifting and healing atmosphere for our residents. We serve patients with a multitude of diagnoses. The most common rehabilitation diagnoses include stroke, orthopedic conditions like hip and knee replacement, arthritis, and spinal cord injuries.

Our team works closely with our residents' physicians, designing and implementing individualized treatment programs.
