Key Review Excerpts
“Therapy is above all the best. My mother had the best treatment the entire time. She is 81 had a broken hip and left there to her home and two weeks later is driving.”
“She enjoyed the many activities, other residents (some had been her classmates at SEMO before WWII), and the excellent care. We greatly appreciate her life at the Chateau, and the wonderful staff.”
“Their rooms are dated, and even their TV rarely works. Cable is a joke and I always feel depressed when I stay here.”
