Key Review Excerpts

The chef came out and prayed with my mom in the dining hall when my dad was taken by ambulance to the hospital. I could go on and on, but my dad sums it up best when he states (every time I visit) that he and my mom are treated like royalty.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

My grandma was there after breaking her hip and I can not even stress enough how poor of care she was given. We had family there several times a day every single day and we had to fight just to get her the bare minimum in care.

Rehab patient's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

The therapy dept was a good size with all the equipment a patient would need. Met the therapy rehab team and you could tell they loved their jobs and were receiving good compassionate care.
