Susan T
Was a little uncertain about the facility given other reviews, but found it to be a great place with very competent, friendly, and caring staff. Staff work well together, the place is very clean, and the food is great. PT/OT staff are the best—workouts are fun and productive! Management staff are very helpful and clearly operate on the philosophy that the patient comes first! This place is better than some of the 5 star facilities in Durham. Give them a try!
