Key Review Excerpts
“The OT & PT staff are excellent. Unfortunately, the nursing care is abysmal. My father suffered with reused dirty catheter bags, repeat UTIs and mismanaged medication- all in a 6 week span.”
“The nurses, nurses aides, administrators and OT/PT dept went above and beyond to make sure I recuperated as soon as possible and be able to go home feeling empowered to continue my life.”
“My mother has been a patient at Wilson Healthcare Center for nearly three years. She suffers from dementia and is bedridden. The staff takes very good care of her. She is always clean and dressed.”
