“I have had multiple patients living in this facility over the past 3 years and I will say this- the DON Fran truly knows ALL of these patients along with Mona who is always filling us in on patient updates.”
“My grandma loves the employees, she constantly talks about them. She even told me if it wasn’t for how nice the staff was she doesn’t know what she would do.”
“The staff in the memory unit is very knowledgeable of patient's condition and care required.”
