Key Review Excerpts
“I am forever profoundly grateful for the unwavering care and compassion my father received at Saint Albans this fall. From the moment we arrived and met the staff, we sensed that Dad would be safe and lovingly cared for.”
“I noticed while entering the 6th floor of where the patients (my dad) rooms are haven't been clean, or 🛁 bathroom, nor the bed linens weren't clean, also my dad diaper has not been changed for many hours.”
“The workers here are very committed to making the Veterans here as comfortable and happy as possible. My grandfather was here for his last few weeks of life and we were treated like family.”
