Key Review Excerpts
“Jenny is the best rehab therapist out there. She worked with my mom who we all thought was at deaths door and after her shunt surgery I was floored that she got her up and walking and now my mom is actually excited about her future.”
“The care and kindness extended to Paul was exemplary. We were commuting back-and-forth from the East Coast to care for a family member and the responsiveness to us by phone when we were not able to be in California was remarkable.”
“The staff here are remarkable! What a nice surprise. From the CNAs, LVNs, RNs to Physical Therapy and Social Services, I give my thanks for their attention and caring under what are sometimes very difficult circumstances.”
