What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for residents needing rehabilitation or high-touch CNA care due to their exceptionally compassionate nursing staff.

Key Review Excerpts

Kim and her CNA staff are exceptional—professional, attentive, and incredibly compassionate. They take the time to know each resident personally, which creates a warm and reassuring environment.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

I have no complaints and would place them there again without hesitation.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

She was in Moore county for three weeks instead of coming to the hospital, which was just miles away. They accepted her at Quail Haven then told me that they were too much that they could handle
