Key Review Excerpts
“Specifically, the team that includes Fantasia, Toya, Sanita, Crystal and Philip have made me sleep comfortably at night knowing that they care for him just like I do when he is at hom”
“My father has only been there for four days. My sister is on the way to go pick him up now against medical advice because he has been left to sit in his own mess five times in one day for almost an hour each time.”
“One example of their follow through was when I discussed something with the PT one afternoon and when I spoke with the NP the next morning and asked about it the NP said that the PT had already checked with her and approved the change.”
