Key Review Excerpts
“Not only did our mom dramatically improve while at MCNH, under very difficult physical and mental circumstances, when it came time to help us with testimony in describing our mom's condition to the appeal Judge, MCNH folks went to bat for us.”
“My father returned to the facility in May 2025 in palliative care And had I known -what I saw would have happened-I would never have put him there. While we had a good experience when he was there before- THIS experience was completely different.”
“They took great care of my Mom and helped me through many, many decisions which had to be made. They kept me informed of any changes that needed to be made.”
