Why Choose James River Health and Rehabilitation?
Private, Comfortable Rehab Suites
- Over 20 private rehab rooms — each with a private bathroom and shower, available to rehab patients and private-pay residents.

- A discharge function score of 76.47% — well above the national average of 57.48%, meaning more of our residents return to their prior level of daily activity after rehab.

A Full Life Beyond Medical Care
- A robust Activities Program — with daily opportunities for connection and engagement.
