Key Review Excerpts
“The problem is coordination of medical care which is why we trust our loved ones to this place. We have been there over a year and still no coordination between PCP and Waltonwood.”
“Housekeeping is hit or miss, laundry is not always put in a bag in my sisters room so it stinks, one member of care team is rude to me and calls my sister by her last name.”
“The staff has been nothing but exceptional. The med techs and nurses are kind and caring. The director, Fatou, answers questions and concerns promptly.”
