Key Review Excerpts
“Hampden Hills has been watching over my mother for the past 6 years now post stroke. Their care for her has been a life saver for our family.”
“This facility was so heartless when I lost my nana. I went to see her in her room after she passed away and from the second I walked in the staff members beyond disrespectful.”
“His room was not ready for him upon entering with a filthy carpet (not vacuumed and large spots hidden by the bed, no furniture except for a stripped double mattress sitting on top of a makeshift twin mattress- unstable, filthy walls needing paint and torn unusable window shades!”
