Key Review Excerpts
“I spent a few months there after cracking my hip last year. I found the staff very friendly, a great cook, and the therapists were great. They got me back on my feet almost as soon as I got there.”
“Nursing staff care more about spreading gossip and rumors than about their patients wellbeing and health. The DON is a joke and chastises & demeans staff in front of anyone & everyone. This facility is very understaffed imo.”
“My Mother was only there for 3 1/2 days before I took her out. During that short time her medication was stolen and replaced with water.”
