Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here is amazing. They give my mom - and really the whole family - a lot of attention and have taken the time to get to know us. It seems as if the staff are constantly assessing the particular needs of each resident and adjusting their care accordingly.”
“My father was at Green Acres Ionia in the last months of his Dementia, the staff and care he received was exceptional.”
“I have a question for management, how does it feel that your staff members continuously give residents the wrong medication? (We’re all human, and make mistakes, we understand but it has been reported multiple times that people are given the WRONG MEDICATION).”
