Key Review Excerpts
“The Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy was great, but care from the nurses IS HORRIBLE! It's not their family, they don't care.”
“Loved ones can ring the bell for help of one sort or another and wait 45 minutes, believe me it happened very day my son was there.”
“The building and living areas are clean. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is good for the most part with a decent variety. If you do your part the staff will get you out of here sooner.”
