What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts

The overall staff is very thin in my opinion. There were periods of time the roommate or I waited more than 20 minutes after pressing call button before a nurse or aid showed up.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★☆☆

The key factor which made this experience flow smoothly was the exceptional service that we received from Sheila Williams, social worker. She truly went above and beyond to advocate for my father and keep me informed through every step of the process.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

The kitchen needs to be aware of patients diet restrictions. My husband is diabetic also. He should have had a diabetic diet meal at least. Not to mention a heart healthy diet.
