I and my brother drove up to Caldwell from Texas to stay at the rehab center 2008 or 2009. He was a really good man! We enjoyed our stay spending many hours in the pool which helped us get better! I enjoyed watching the feeding of the dogs and cats there! Especially the visiting pooch named Pip! Aka the Pipster
