Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff are friendly and attentive, but actually are understaffed, especially on the weekend. The food provided is well prepared and has much variety. The physical training staff there are the best; especially a nurse named Judy.”
“They shared their evaluations and concerns about Verna’s physical & mental state. They asked for the family’s goals for Verna to be able to go home, addressed those goals and what it will take to accomplish them.”
“Do not trust your care of complicated, non-verbal family members with them. They do not appropriately reach out to medical decision makers when there is a change in care.”
