Plain answers

You have questions. Here are the answers.

Will Medicare pay? Usually, after a qualifying hospital stay. How long will Dad be here? About as long as it takes him to get up the front steps at home, and we will tell you every week how close he is. Can we visit at night? Yes. Any night.

We've been doing this since 1972, long enough to know that families don't need a brochure. They need a straight answer, a phone number that someone picks up, and a nurse who calls before things become a problem.

Sample family reviews

Patients and families. Unedited.

Bypass surgery in October. Home by Thanksgiving. Kyle had me walking the parking lot in the second week.
Leon T.Rehab patient, 2025
I asked how long Mom would be there and they gave me an actual answer, then updated it every Friday. That never happened at the other place.
Dana K.Daughter of a rehab patient
Dad came in on oxygen around the clock. The respiratory therapist had him off it during the day by week three.
Javier R.Son of a rehab patient
Andre figured out Dad's VA benefits in one afternoon after we'd been stuck for months.
Shelly O.Daughter of a long-term resident
My wife has lived here five years. The aides know she likes her coffee black and her radio on the country station. That's all I ask.
Harold P.Husband of a resident
Jolene sent me photos of Mom's wound every week. I watched it close from Dallas.
Tracy B.Daughter of a rehab patient
They called me at 11 p.m. to say Grandpa had a fever and what they were doing about it. Then they called again at 6 to say it broke.
Brittany L.Granddaughter of a resident
Knee replacement, eighteen days, went home and back to the golf course by spring. No complaints.

Our story

Fifty years on Lakeview Parkway
