Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing care is above average with many compassionate staff. The male attendants were respectful and kind with several shout outs to Saint. Last but not least, Gloria the nurse assigned is excellent, caring, funny, friendly but professional.”
“My mother was transferred here after Marian Manor closed. My family and I can not be happier with the level of care and attention my mother has received. They understood that she would need time to adjust and they allowed for that.”
“The staff are slow and will leave you for dead as slow as they move. They take FOREVER to come check on you when you call for them.”
