Arden care center provide me good care.. I am here for rehab. I received rehab today and it was very good. The nursing staff provides good care and the food here is decent. My room is the perfect temperature. I had no idea what rehab meant until I got here at Arden. The rehab staff explained to me everything about my care what it is that they will do for me.

I was been here several Times over the last several months - the improvements I’ve seen are amazing. From when I was here a year ago, it has transformed into a clean, friendly welcoming place. My former husband is receiving excellent care and is very happy. A shout out to Bertha, his nurse who is so kind and thoughtful. I’m so pleased that he is being cared for at this wonderful facility.

To be honest, I have been very pleasantly surprised by my experience here at the Arden house. My expectations were not high based on some Google reviews that I read, that gave the Physical Therapy not a terrific rating. So far, that has proven to be grossly incorrect. I have found the staff, especially The Physical Therapy staff to be to be caring and attentive and thorough with a great sense of humor that I needed to get me through some of the obstacles that I have encountered. On top of that physical accommodations, I have found to be really nice. Large spacious single room and the food is surprisingly not terrible lol. Overall, it has been a pleasant and positive experience thus far.
