Key Review Excerpts

“My mom has been here since August 13th. She has improved 110%. She's 90 years old. She broke her hip about 6 weeks ago. After surgery and being hospitalized she came here. She's been very happy and loves her people.”

Rehab patient's family · 2021★★★★★

“Took excellent care of our great grandmother in her later years when we no longer could...including her last days. They were excellent. Very kind, caring, and made sure she was looked after.”

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

“Although,they were short staffed, I feel that my father was well taken care of while there. He was on the second floor which was renovated. Some of the other floors were a little gloomy and depressing.”
