“The nursing staff and the therapy department were ABSOLUTELY TOP NOTCH!!!! My grandfather was able to rehab and discharg home.”
“We received a call daily (we live apx. 2,000 away) with a progress report. Her therapists called with updates as well.”
“She was only there a few days and her health declined due to lack of care…the staff were friendly but didn’t seem to fully be attentive to what they were doing.”
