Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy and Occupational Therapy are great. I am sorry I lost a few weeks of therapy in the summer, but once it started, I was quickly able to 'walk' on the one leg I still have.”
“The staff were all very friendly, those who I saw interact with residents did so with respect, gentleness and cheerful, friendly manner. The facility was very clean.”
“Had a family member stay here. They and their roomate were left to sit in their own bowel movements for over an hour after calling the staff. When the staff came into the room and the roomate asked why it took an hour to help the staff said 'I don't need your attitude and if your gonna be rude I'm not going to change you' and left the room.”
