Key Review Excerpts
“The floors are spotless, a.k.a. hospital clean, and I would be confident eating off the floor like it was a tile plate.”
“My mother has been at this facility since November 2023. She can be a demanding Asian mother at 90 years old. The staff is very prompt, and understanding of her needs.”
“We regularly get calls from the nurses with reports on her health and well-being. We appreciate this as we live on the East Coast and aren't able to visit often.”
