What this means for your family

The facility is widely recognized for its compassionate staff and respectful treatment of seniors. However, because of a past report of poor communication during medical transitions, families should verify that nursing staff are prepared to provide detailed and professional updates during post-surgery or transfer periods.

Family member of a resident · 2022★★★★★

When I called the care nurse Susan, she was very short with her answer and just told me shes fine. Susan didnt even ask me the patients name.
