Key Review Excerpts
“Shaina took her time with us and walked us around the entire facility all while interacting with the patients and staff sincerely. She knew each and every person’s name and you could tell she had a vested interest in this place.”
“The team is present, consistent, and focused on both resident experience and clinical care. Nursing is attentive, concerns are addressed, and there is a clear effort to do better every day.”
“I have experienced the staff as wonderful and loving towards my mother, and towards me. Many staff left at one point a couple of years ago and they were very short staffed and overworking those that were there - very concerning, but many have returned.”
