The Royal Suites Long term care facility treatment is being rendered by ‘Royal Suites Healcare and Rehabilitation’ as a recognized medical institute.

The services are coupled with social activities that provide emotional and physical stabilization, interacting relationship among patients as well medical and non-medical personnel.
