I was very impressed with their program. They have a person on staff whose job appears to be focused on Rider 28 stays. There is even a room set up with two beds that had a Rider 28 name plate on it. The experience and rules were straight-forward. You may leave campus, but if it is for more that 2 hours, call to tell nurse that you are still out and OK. |

Very nice people but the place was really old & run down. Room with 2 beds & a TV with a DVD player (neither worked). |
