Key Review Excerpts

Within two weeks everyone knew Mom's name and mine. They would update me about how she's doing. Since Covid shut down all nursing homes they let us do zoom calls with our loved ones and I can call all her caregivers and get updates on how she is doing.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

My uncle stayed a total of 24 days. During our stay, when asking the nurses for help they came in the room sighing and whispering to each other. Also within 3 weeks he fell and broke a hip there. Not only were we not notified but it wasn't documented.

Family member of short-term patient · 2022☆☆☆☆

My mother was there for a few weeks after hip surgery. Within a 4 or 5 week period the lost every stitch of her clothes. She left there in a hospital gown. They couldn't find a pair of her socks to go home in
