Key Review Excerpts
“My grandma in law is in this facility right now and spent 15 minutes on the floor after a fall waiting for help! Most times the call button is pressed it takes 20 minutes for someone to come see her.”
“The BLUF-BOTTOM LINE UPFRONT- is Liberty Heights performed a historical unprecedented act that saved my life from a septic toxic infection that permeated my body and spine.”
“The downside is the maintenance department. Almost impossible to get work orders taken care of. All other on staff are excellent and the waitresses are so friendly and accommodating.”
