Key Review Excerpts
“The PT/OT team here are amazing. Darren, Kendall, and Christin were beyond helpful with my healing process.”
“I visited my sister there this year and was absolutely appalled when I walked into her room not only by the smell but on how filthy her half of the room was, just disgusting.”
“First off I am not a disgruntled employee, I am a resident. This place is pathetic. A long list of issues including no hot water in my room for over 60 days, giving me the incorrect dosage of my medication.”
