Key Review Excerpts
“I have watched nurses and assistants alike give hugs and say 'I love you' to the residents and a lot of gentle face touches just so the residents can recognize they are there.”
“She didn’t get her medicine the first day nor a walker and her BiPap machine was not hooked up like we were told it would be. One day she received the incorrect amount of medicine it made her feel awful the whole day.”
“Physical therapy is the worst you can imagine. My father stayed here for 33 days after hip surgery and still couldn’t walk. With proper PT at home, I had him walking in 9 days with a walker.”
