When the rehab. Opened I was able to get my brother in there. Had just come from second hip replacement.(same hip) Words can not say enough for the care he recieved. I'm from Florida and had no idea which place to choose, as it turned out this was the best place. Environment, Staff, nurses, physical therapist were AMAZONG. He made friends there. Came home 98% better than when he went in. He got his life back. Thank You

Kirkwood by the River (KBTR) skilled nursing staff took extraordinary care of our Mother through her last days and we cannot thank you enough. She passed peacefully with dignity and grace. We had experiences with other assisted living and skilled nursing facilities and wholeheartedly endorse KBRR as second to none in this industry. God truly works through the hands and hearts of the KBTR staff. Thank You!
