Key Review Excerpts
“The absolutely worst place you could send your loved one. If you want your family member to survive, find elsewhere! They almost killed my grandfather neglecting him.”
“The staff is great but the quality of the food is very poor. Soggy sandwich..half cooked fries....no fresh fruit except for a few small pieces with yesterday meal.”
“Very clean environment. Very friendly staff. The people there are willing to go above and beyond to make the patients to feel like they are at home.”
