Key Review Excerpts
“My dad ended up spending 3 months there for rehab. Cory Hiers and his team helped to get him walking again allowing him to go home.”
“It is never easy to transition a loved one to LTC, but sometimes all the love in the world is not enough to meet Dementia patient's needs. They have both helped make this process easier with the compassion and care they demonstrate towards my Grandfather.”
“The staff works hard to keep residents comfortable and happy. The CNAs are knowledgeable and friendly and will cheer you on when you're struggling with therapy.”
