Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses and aids are ROCK STARS! Patient, empathetic, caring. They enjoy their jobs. Made our family feel very welcome & comfortable.”
“Having to use a bed pan, I called for help and on numerous times, especially midnight shift, waited no less than 30 minutes for help. Then greeted with an attitude, call bell taken and left on it after the door was slammed.”
“Care in every detail of my 21/2 week stay for rehab of fractured vertebrae in my spine was above and beyond anything I had anticipated. Nursing care was careful and thoughtful, particularly Daemon.”
