Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, aids, activity directors, and even the receptionists make mom feel cared for and loved. The care is excellent but the relationships that mom has with the staff are the icing on top.”
“We were especially delighted that PT happened 6 days a week, rather than the 5 we anticipated. Approaching holiday season and the construction project going on would have been an understandable distraction from patients, but neither caused limited care.”
“Don't bother using the button asking for help, because they don't respond. You have to find someone if you need anything.”
