Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy and occupational therapy folks are tremendous. I feel very comfortable that all my wife's needs are being tended to.”
“My grandmother’s medications were mishandled multiple times. At one point on Wednesday, Feb. 11th, the nurse apologized and admitted she had forgotten her glasses and did not see the fine-print instructions on the medication.”
“The love and caring at DGS has been apparent from the start, and I have always felt we made the right decision for my mother, who is 93 and in the memory unit. Special kudos to the activities director, whose joy and energy are boundless.”
