Key Review Excerpts
“My Mom is a Resident at Martha T Berry. She has been there for over a year. The Care that she receives has been Exceptional. As a nurse of 24+ years, I am so happy with what I see here.”
“My mother was a resident for several years. I cannot tell you how grateful I was for the attention and care she received. The staff kept me aware of any changes whether with administrative policies or my mother's medication and food.”
“Run from this place. NO accountability from anyone. Food is horrible cold and residents don’t get what they order. Nurses can be very rude. CNA well forget it. The temp ones are hideous rude and have NO compassion.”
