Key Review Excerpts
“The therapists are wonderful and work very hard to ensure that my dad is reaching his potential. The nurses, CNA's, recreation department, therpaists, front desk workers are all very caring and compassionate.”
“My mother hadn't been to the bathroom in days while she was here bowels and kidneys were shutting down and she was septic. The attending doctor, nurses and nurse practitioner had no clue what they were doing.”
“As a nurse myself it was a bit of a hard transition going from caregiver to patient but there are so many caring staff members that they easily calmed my nerves and helped me feel more comfortable.”
