Key Review Excerpts
“The biggest challenge now is that she doesn’t want to leave! We’re not sure where this incredible team was recruited from, but they are truly some of the most phenomenal human beings we’ve met.”
“My grandmother stayed here, and the level of neglect she experienced was horrifying. She had multiple falls, including one so serious that she ended up in the hospital for days—yet our family was never even notified.”
“Generally speaking, the care is acceptable. The biggest issue and concern is that if you call the phone is consistently not picked up. Furthermore, if you leave a message you're more than like we will not get a return phone call.”
