Key Review Excerpts

I've never heard a complain about the service at this nursing home. I got hold of "Ashley". She was an incredibly lovely experience.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

She was left on a bed pan cause she isn’t able to get up and also since when is there a shortage on water for patients at the Aberdeen Health and Rehab.
