Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses and the aids. I found very pleasant and can handle any questions I ask. The only real problem I had was with the food.”
“The absolute negligence of this place is despicable. My grandfather went into the rehabilitation section with the hope of going home and was dead not even a month later.”
“My parents have lived at John Scott since Jan. 2023. I can not say enough good things about the staff. They work so hard and do it with such compassion and kindness.”
