Key Review Excerpts

The USMC GUNNERY SERGEANT VIETNAM VET TOTALLY APPROVES SO FAR AND THAT SAYS EVERYTHING. SO FAR SO GOOD AND SAYS THE MENU IS GREAT.

Family member of resident · 2026★★★★★

Had some times i was not so happy about my grandmothers treatment here but when I talked to the top administrator things got straightened out and my grandmother was taking good care of!

Granddaughter of resident · 2026★★★★

When they discharged him, he was back in the hospital within 2 hours. He was septic. We have been in the hospital for 2 weeks trying to get him well. They have a few great nurses but most don’t care! They will leave the patient in dirty diapers.
