I was at cottonwood from September to December. The therapy there was phenomenal. When I got there, I was unable to even get out of bed. After my stay there, I was walking all over with my walker and was able to return home for Christmas!

My grandmother was a patient at Cottonwood Canyon For around 2 months she had a great experience, nurses were great and they have the best physical therapy team. She had her strength back and was up and walking again in no time thanks to the care she received.
