Key Review Excerpts
“I hear the CNA's/Nurses interacting with others down the hall with a smile in their voices. It takes a special person to do the job they do and The Good Neighbor Home employs the best.”
“Her final week was in Hospice Care there, and we feel so blessed to have had that extra special touch that comes with being surrounded by people that knew her and had cared for her.”
“Only the extreme minimum of care. Not to interested in what the individual wants. It's more about what kind of effort the worker might feel like putting out for the day.”
