Key Review Excerpts
“Antonia richey is so helpful and professional she has helped us in so many ways with our mother ! i would recommend this place to anyone!”
“Please know if for some reason your loved one is admitted after normal business hours on the weekend, there is a skeleton crew, so make sure you ask AND follow up with any Rx they may need because it doesn't seem that BH uses a 24 hr pharmacy to get them delivered in a timely fashion.”
“The physical therapy staff was diligent in strengthening our patient. The social worker and other administrative staff took time to address all our concerns and followed through as their roles dictated.”
