Key Review Excerpts
“The medical care and rehab team is excellent. Its clean, homey, and safe. Can't say enough good things about Tammy and Teresa.”
“My Dad was in Smith Health Care Ltd for several weeks during last summer for physical therapy due to his Alzheimer's condition. He received absolutely the best care possible and the whole staff were fantastic.”
“My mother-in-law, a fall risk, was entrusted to their care, but what unfolded during her stay was a series of distressing incidents that left us deeply disappointed and concerned for her well-being. On no less than three separate occasions, my mother-in-law suffered falls while under the care of Smith Nursing Home.”
