Key Review Excerpts

“The staff on 4 Jones was so incredibly wonderful to my mom before and after she was placed on hospice care. They were super friendly and caring people who took care of my mom's every need.”

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

“I was recently in Pocopson Home for Rehab due to a fall that broke my Pelvic bone. I was on 3rd Jones room 315, the Nurses, and CNA,staff were the best!! Everyone was so caring.The PT and OT staff were top notch with my rehabilitation sessions.”

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

“Horrible place, horrible care, and horrible communication. They wait 5 days to tell you they gave your loved one the wrong medication and lose reports regarding elder abuse after a nurse calls to tell you that the County is investigating it.”
