Key Review Excerpts
“The medical staff are some of the most caring and empathetic people I've met working in healthcare. Every single person I interacted with knew my loved on, and said something nice about them.”
“Their room and bathroom was always clean and the floor was cleaned multiple times a day. Both my parents were very happy with all of the staff saying that everyone was very nice and helpful.”
“The care was good, but they stuck my mom with a huge bill that she can't afford all because they told her it was 100% covered when it wasn't.”
