Highfield Gardens Care Center has equipped its rehab department with some of the newest equipment. It will be adding an aquasizer to the rehab department as part of a hydrotherapy program that is being created.
&#8220You'll find a lot of equipment here that you won't find anywhere else,” said John Armstrong, the Director of Rehab at Highfield Gardens Care Center.
