Key Review Excerpts
“The staff are great and it appears there is little staff turnover. Several staff members have been there for over 20 years. When we visit, or participate in activities, we witness the genuine care, love, patience, and compassion the staff have with the residents.”
“The therapists, CNAs, medical staff and especially the administration support staff, had great care and communication throughout my father’s stay. My father is back home now due to outstanding efforts of Kelly, Social Services.”
“We've had a long association with Midlands. Our aunt and my mother resided there. Our uncle has been there for almost nine years. He feels that he has it made at Midlands. He has everything he needs.”
