I had a friend who has had to be in this rehab facility a couple of times. I want to thank Birdie for her caring and compassionate attention to my friend I live out of state and could not visit. Birdie took my calls and kept me updated. She made sure he was taken care of and helped with his return home. Awesome!!!

My husband has been at Aperioncare for 4 months and am very pleased with the daytime nursing staff. Johanna, Eric, Sue and Rocio have been wonderful. I am very sad that Rocio is no longer his nurse. He is very satisfy with the food. I wish the room size was bigger so we could visit there during the winter. In the summer the garden is really nice. He loves that he can smoke there. I cannot comment on the night and weekend staff. Only 4 stars because of the room size
