Key Review Excerpts
“The staff for therapy went above and beyond with working with him, also the Cna cares we’re amazing ! The food here was terrific .”
“They never notified me of my mother’s discharge, and then let a 79 year-old woman with dementia take a taxi home. Yikes on so, so many levels.”
“The nursing and CNA staff were very good but over worked because of lack of staffing. They were unable to answer my call light in a timely fashion so I had many potty accidents.”
