RE: HealthSouth Corporation;
Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to HealthSouth Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and each of the Opinion Guarantors (as defined herein), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration Statement No. 333-141698), filed by the Company and the Guarantors referred to below with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on March 30, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto as filed with the Commission on May 3, 2007 (as so amended, the “Registration Statement”), to register the issuance by the Company of up to $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes of the Company due 2014 and $625,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.75% Senior Notes of the Company due 2016 (together, the "Exchange Notes"). The Exchange Notes will be governed by two separate Indentures, each dated as of June 14, 2006 (together, the "Indentures"), in each case, among the Company, the Guarantors named therein (the "Guarantors") and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"), which provide for the guarantee, to the extent set forth in the respective Indentures (collectively, the "Guarantees"), of the Exchange Notes by each of the Guarantors. The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to an exchange offer (the

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company and the Opinion Guarantors, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, the Opinion Guarantors and others.

Our opinion set forth herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Texas Business Corporation Act and the Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act, and those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Exchange Offer, but without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation (all of the foregoing being referred to as "Opined on Law"). We do not express any opinion with respect to the law of any jurisdiction other than Opined on Law or as to the effect of any such non-opined on law on the opinion herein stated.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Registration Statement becomes effective and the Exchange Notes (in the form examined by us) have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture and have been delivered upon consummation of the Exchange Offer against receipt of Original Notes surrendered in exchange therefor in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

In rendering the opinion set forth above, we have assumed that the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Indentures and the Exchange Notes, the execution and delivery by each of the Guarantors of each of the Indentures and the performance by each of the Company and the Guarantors of its respective obligations thereunder do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantors or their properties are subject, except that we do not make this assumption for those agreements and instruments which have been identified to us by the Company and the Guarantors as being material to them and which are listed as exhibits in Part II of the Registration Statement (the "Listed Agreements and Instruments"). We note that certain of the Listed Agreements and Instruments may be governed by laws other than Opined on Law. Our opinion expressed herein is based solely upon our understanding of the plain language of such agreements or instruments and we do not express any opinion with respect to the validity, binding nature or enforceability of any such agreement or instrument, and we do not assume any responsibility with respect to the effect on the opinions or statements set forth herein of any interpretation thereof inconsistent with such understanding.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
