Key Review Excerpts
“The rehabilitation program was great and the rehab staff were fantastic. The staff at Fulton gardens ( especially the RNs and CNAs kept me informed of everything going on with him in a timely manner”
“I was so scared to put my 75 yr old mom here because nursing homes have such bad reputations, but the nurses and their CNAs were so attentive to my mom for the past 4 months. She had an open wound and there was a treatment nurse who saw her regularly and it improved dramatically.”
“If I could give this place a zero I would!! During the day is good, my uncles CNA William was absolutely amazing and attentive, the night shift crew and staff are HORRIBLE!! No one ever answers the phone!!”
