“The staff is taking such wonderful care of my dad as he is in the assisted living part of The Wellington. He has only been there a short time, but he is content. Dad is even beginning to make friends as the staff encourages his attendance at some of the fun events.”
“Her medications have been delayed several days due to computer issues, she is non-ambulatory and has not had out of bed since arriving, she has not had a shower or even a bed bath since arriving, the food is poor quality, the food is poor quality, and I cannot recommend this facility.”
