Key Review Excerpts
“The in house OT and PT departments are unmatched and really helped my mom’s recovery after her massive strokes and brain surgery! Most of the nursing staff were tentative and caring!”
“Aides are wonderful- personable , patient and caring with patient. She loves her meals. Nurse trying to learn her native language to communicate even more effectively with her”
“Not a good place to keep your family members at all I went up front and asked for my father to be changed and it took so long for them to change him so we had to change him ourselves and he also needed his dressing changed because he has a bed sore so we are still waiting on that to be changed .”
