Key Review Excerpts
“The staff accommodated and treated me with great caring, dignity and respect during all my stays for rehab.”
“We love CCNH! God knew that we needed a warm and friendly place because we thought we needed to keep my dad at home. However, he got so much more than we could have given him at home and the workers there have been awesome!!!!”
“When we told her that if they’re going to let him do that, he needs a walker to steady himself, her response to that was they’ll see if they can find one. They never got him one. We get a call at 2am that night stating he had fallen and hit his head”
