Key Review Excerpts
“The new leadership team at Sinai is doing a wonderful job! The new administrator (Yehuda) and new Director of Nursing (Hannia) obviously care very much about the residents and families, and they take the time to listen and understand.”
“I came in on a wheelchair, hardly able to move my left leg. Going into rehab therapy, weeks later, I had lotsa exercise that built up my legs and the calf muscles. I went from a wheelchair to a rollator walker to walking, now, on my own.”
“If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would!! This place is infested with Mice, filthy and reeks of urine. I removed my loved one in less and 24hrs because she witnessed mice - 3 to be exact, running around her room”
