Key Review Excerpts
“The staff are PHENOMENAL, from the front desk, to the nursing aids, nurses, physical therapists to the meal servers! Everyone is so friendly and quick to answer any questions or concerns that may arise!”
“My mom is here after having a stroke on December and the only thing I can say good about this place is the front desk people are very nice. PT is good with the right people on duty. My mom tells me everyday that her and her roommate sit in soiled diapers for hours until someone decides to come and change them.”
“The physical therapy program works wonders for those who are need. I wasn't walking when I admitted but I'm now walking with a great cane and a rolling walker!”
