Key Review Excerpts
“They were always responsive if I had any questions and they communicated with me about his care. Everyone, from cleaning staff to administration were very friendly.”
“The surgery site became infected and the staff ignored it. He was telling them it was seeping and they fought him on it.”
“The therapist Megan Cheryl and Emily are all amazing they work with you and help you get stronger. The nurses were excellent my favorite were Dena and Cynthia but none of the nurses were bad.”
