Key Review Excerpts
“At first we weren't happy with the nursing/ tech staff but we found out they had alot of temporary staff working. Once we have been there a couple weeks and complained enough he is being taken care of appropriately.”
“My husband is here for rehabilitation after a prolonged hospital stay. I will be completely honest my first impression was to say the least not pleasant. I honestly was going to remove him and take him home with me. Brandi the social worker and Tiffany the director blew me away with their compassion, kindness, and understanding.”
“I have my parents and my uncle at Scioto Community. There is a lot of communication that is needed, and I am very happy that everyone on staff communicates well! From, Karen Rice, All of the nurses, Brenda, Nancy, Peggy, and Tracy.”
