Key Review Excerpts

The rehab phase was very comprehensive and got her back to her baseline. Mom felt much safer at Presbyterian Village, North and decided to stay rather than return to her condo.

The staff are very caring and treat you like a family member. The food is delicious and the decor is beautiful and feels like a home.
