Key Review Excerpts
“OT/PT are amazing! Very good group and my Mom loved them. They worked wonders.”
“I was kind of skeptical after reading a couple of bad reviews. But, those who posted in the negative comments must have been a long time ago or isolated instances. I have found the most caring and kind and happy staff there.”
“The nursing quality provided is poor. My mother sustained injuries, had valuables lost, was limited to 4 tissues a shift and had orders made to make it easier on the nursing staff, rather than better care for the patient.”
