Key Review Excerpts
“The Rehab department is wonderful and works hard to make their patients stronger. I highly recommend Garden Care!”
“The facility itself is kept very clean and never had the pee smell of other places. It has a nice little patio to enjoy on warm days.”
“I witnessed them yelling at a patient because she didn’t eat her food. They leave the patients dirty while hanging out in hallways on their phones.”
