Key Review Excerpts
“The ENTIRE staff from admissions, clerical, maintenance, janitorial, kitchen , activities and nursing are so kind and caring. They are ALL attentive to the residents and the family ALL the time.”
“When I first entered I walked through a makeshift archway full of second-hand smoke. The door opens to a pungent odor of urine. The building is old but apparently clean. He did have a nice bed. My family member had dementia. He could be difficult. Staff took his behaviors personally.”
“Very nice, caring and attentive staff. My father was only there for not even a day but he had much better care here, than at the hospitals.”
