Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was sent here for rehab after having COVID. She had to call me and I had to call the nurses to do their job. We begged them to transfer mom before she got really bad and they wouldn’t because they didn’t want to give her orders to.”
“My Mom was in this place for 3 weeks after a month hospital stay. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years in nursing homes as well as assisted living facilities, I have to say this is the ABSOLUTE WORST Place in the world to have a loved one at.”
“The staff here at Standifer have all been good to me. I couldn't have asked for a better team to take care of me. If I ever need services like this again, I will choose Standifer again.”
