Key Review Excerpts
“The procedures and therapies employed were outstanding. Jose and Gabby are excellent PT and OT therapists, respectively.”
“Nursing staff will answer a nurse call after 1-2 hours. Foley catheter opened and left unattended to for hours leading to a horrendous infection which ended admission back to the hospital.”
“I saw a nurse feeding my Mom's roommate there tonight, and that brought tears ( happy) tears to my eyes. Stanford Court is always very clean and smells good !”
