My experience at Cottonwood has been nothing short of outstanding!!! From the moment I was admitted I was greeted with warmth and compassion, setting the tone for the exceptional care that followed!!!


My aunt was here for therapy and my family and I were both happy with the care she received from the nurses and CNAS. Special shoutout to Nadine and her rehab team for always motivating her to participate in therapy.


This therapy team is the best in the world. Kelsey, Kayla, Laura, Russel, and especially Daniel helped me get back home.
