Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is always clean in the public areas and the cleaning ladies sweep residents room everyday. They have some kind of activities or exercises everyday around 10a and 2p in the afternoon.”
“My 82 year-old mom went to Scott Lake for rehab after a broken ankle. We had a terrible experience. They appear to be short staffed. Response time when assistance was needed was HOURS.”
