Key Review Excerpts
“The building is older and the facility appeared to be at capacity, every area I visited was clean and residents were well attended. What impressed me the most, however, was the staff.”
“The patient has NO way to communicate with the staff and vice versa. The Facility is clean and the staff seems compassionate. But they put everybody in a big room for hours during the day with spanish t v blaring.”
“My dad is 97 and has been at this home for over 15 years. My dad loves the whole staff, so loving, organized and clean. My dad was at the hospital for two weeks, he couldn’t wait to come back.”
