Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is spotless and extremely well maintained. The staff is friendly, experienced, and genuinely attentive. Most importantly, the daily PT regimen has made a significant impact — my dad is now steadily improving and on track for discharge.”
“The food is excellent, it tastes like home cooked food and I am not exaggerating.”
“My father was placed here in December and he passed away in February from four bed sores from them never changing his position as he was non ambulatory. They never inform you of anything contagious.”
