Key Review Excerpts
“My 91-year-old mother stayed here several weeks. Her room was very large. The staff was wonderful... Mom healed very well and received daily physical therapy that made her much stronger than when she came in.”
“My sister has been a resident at this facility for about 10yrs... This review is specifically to highlight nurse Esther from the 2nd.floor. She has been great. My sister recently had heart surgery.Esther made sure that I was informed about all events pre-op.”
“My dad spent one week there and he ended up getting bed sores and pneumonia. The nurses NEVER pick up the phone. My dad called me one day panicking because he was so sick and nobody came to help him even though he pressed the nurse call button continuously.”
