Key Review Excerpts
“Borger Heath Care took wonderful care of my grandmother while she was there. She loved all the special activities they had for the residents. She especially loved her trips to the Dr in Amarillo with her favorite Ms. Neva the transportation aid.”
“I'm there 2 or 3 times a day to visit my mom and they are always helping the residents. The residents love them and the staff loves the residents.”
“My father was only there a few weeks and got MRSA and several other infections. I believe it to be from the poor care and understaffed facility.”
