My mother was in rehab recovering from a variety of issues and the nursing / care staff was tremendous. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I can not thank them enough. Even though the facility is older, the location was also convenient and easy to navigate.

The nurses and age are well-educated, knowledgeable and very professional. The nurse unit manager works professionally works hard, and it's underpaid for her position. She manages and keeps in order every single patient in the unit for medication, too comfortability. Due to respect every patient in the unit that she manages, it's well taken care of every patient is treated with healthcare, decency and respect anything that is wrong. The unit nurse manager takes care of it. Immediately, not only that, but she is dedicated to her job. And her work ethics is exemplary. She does the job, and as a naval retired veteran combat medic Corman, I would be proud to serve with this unit manager nurse on the battlefield. She is worthy of more than what she gets paid for I believe that in her position always being on call. I'll always being able to get the answer quickly. Efficiently? If she does not have the answer, then she says she will get the answer as soon as possible. Carrie, the unit manager should be paid more for the work that she does. And the dedication that she gives to this establishment

My husband stayed at Arbors for 2 months. During that time I visited every day at different times. All staff were attentive! They were caring, quick to respond, and fun! He even asked me when he was going back! He goes back for respite because he likes it so much. NURSE Carrie is on top of the nurses, and the others have integrity in their jobs. A warm, family oriented place!
