Key Review Excerpts
“The facility always clean, organized, feel very comfortable when step into the building or even outside neighbor. The CNA, nurses and staff are professional helpful and take good care of my father and other elders”
“The staff however, is what makes this place so wonderful. The staff were all very friendly and caring. My Dad was well taken care of every day. Every time we went to visit the staff would update us on his progress.”
“The rehab team, Dr.’s/Nurses and Aids were wonderful. Our Mom was eventually moved to the 3rd floor long term care. I, Her son, visited our Mom during the day and at night. I work evenings so at night I would regularly visit Mom after midnight. The South Cove team accommodated us with a private room, I was grateful”
