The 183-bed facility is on Hoover Road in a car-dependent part of the city. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several options for covering rehabilitation services and ongoing skilled nursing care. The community has an occupancy rate of 70%, and residents stay an average of 191 days, including post-acute rehabilitation patients and those receiving longer-term nursing care.
Rehabilitation services are supported by a strong nursing presence throughout the facility. Daily nurse staffing averages 5 hours and 8 minutes per resident.
