Key Review Excerpts

I continually find him in a soiled bed, wet clothes, brief soaked, and often cold. This is totally unacceptable!

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

I experienced professional quality care combined with sincere kindness and concern for my well being from the aides to the nursing staff.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

Most of the time when I or a family member visited she hadn't been bathed and the room hadn't been cleaned.The staff was not professional or courteous.
