they recover from surgery. Patients receive around-the-clock nursing
assistance, three home-cooked meals a day, help with doctor’s
appointments, travel information and tours, transportation to and
from the patient’s main doctor and hospital, and free airport

A single surgical guest is charged a flat rate of $85 per day plus

Summary
An analysis of patient testimonials about these
facilities is varied, however, those reporting on CheTica Ranch
Medical Recovery Center are extensive and reflect overwhelmingly
the mostly positive responses of all. All the other facilities reflect
adequate and excellent treatment of guests but lack some apparent
enthusiasm offered by CheTica Ranch guests.
