Key Review Excerpts
“It didn't have that nursing home smell to it and the residents looked like they were having fun, they were in the dining room bowling.”
“The nurses are attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their patients. It’s rare to find a facility where staff treat residents like family, and this one truly stands out.”
“They need to replace the person who answered this 24 hour line a few nights ago. The phone rang endlessly, an annoyed voice FINALLY answered, sounding very put out.”
