Key Review Excerpts
“My mom spent 3 weeks at Orzac Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing after what we thought to be a straight forward surgery was complicated by physical deficits that required rehabilitation before returning home. The nursing staff was attentive from day one.”
“My family and I are very grateful for the warm care, professional attention, and courtesy extended and shown to my mom while she was there. Heartfelt thanks to ALL of the hardworking staff.”
“My father in-law was in this facility and we had to discharge him early because the care he received was horrible. He got a bed sore because the staff was not using the proven methods for prevention. There was no consistency in staff.”
