Key Review Excerpts
“My mother got to spend her last days here and the staff is absolutely great. From the people in the office to the nurses,cnas,and house keeping are great.”
“The facility was very clean, the employees seemed really nice and helpful when needed. Also she had a wound, that the wound staff did their best keeping an eye on it and dressing everyday to help it heel faster.”
“They left my grandmother in the floor calling for help for hours (we're still not sure how long) because they had the door shut and couldn't hear her.”
