Key Review Excerpts
“From my very first encounter at the front desk to the present 12/12/23 I have nothing but praise for the administrator Ms. Shannon, Ms. Sadie and the entire physical therapy department.”
“My Dad has been in facility for 1 year now. His aide Dora in Alpha unit is the best. Nurses Britney, Anna and Jeanine, I can not complain. These ladies are dedicated and treat these men with much respect and love.”
“The staff is so incompetent, that we had to hire our own private aid for 10 hrs out of the day. There have been MANY incidences to occur here over the years, with us having to call them out in their BS!”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
