Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is genuinely concerned for the wellness of their patients. I had a good interaction with the social services team and was impressed.”
“My mom was left unattended for hours in the chair , they left the nurses call button on the bed, they never checked on her for 3 hours.”
“The nurses and CNA are fantastic. Silas and Jeremy are especially kind and attentive. It would be better if there were more of them because they are spread pretty thin for the number of patients they supervise.”
