Key Review Excerpts
“So impressed that the employees were on top of what the residents were doing, very attentive, helpful, not on cell phone or ear buds having conversations with other people while helping the residents.”
“Nurse Walker greeted us with a beautiful smile. She walked to the patient's room with us. She greeted Elizabeth with a warm hello and smile. Elizabeth was not really alert but she took time with her just as if she was.”
