Key Review Excerpts
“Everyone on the staff was kind, caring, attentive, and ALWAYS smiling. I've dealt with many nursing facilities and this is, by FAR, the best.”
“People don't get the care they need, staff speaks negativity about patients. HIPA law is probably broken atleast 10 times a day. I can not blame the nurses, its the people in charge.”
