“The staff here is nothing less than phenomenal. They make you feel so welcome and are so accommodating. From the moment you step into the reception area until the moment you leave, everybody you encounter is awesome!”
“My mother began calling me repeatedly, stating that her medications were not being administered correctly. I contacted the charge nurse, Yuni, who, along with a few others, appeared to be among the only staff members functioning effectively.”
“The staff were exceptional, telling me about good nights/bad nights, medicine changes, PT/OT progress, dr. appts/transportation arrangements, eating habits, etc.”
