Very clean and a pleasant atmosphere. My friend I visited was cheerful and we had a nice visit. Jackie was comfortable and her linens were fresh and she was as well. The decorations are pretty and the staff friendly.

I have to CONGRATULATE the Staff on their great efforts & improvements that I've noticed recently - compared to 2 other facilities. My godmother was here in Rehab and recently returned for Long-term care. A meeting of Dept. Heads (nursing, activities, accounting & social) assured that personal attention was given to her needs. Many kind, devoted staff members have been there for years. They are almost at capacity and are working extremely hard to meet their many goals. Keep up the good work Team. Your work is so essential to our community!! Thank You!

My Husband had good care at August Healthcare, some of the staff wasn't very friendly they act like they didn't want to me . The Therapy team did an excellent job with my husband Michael, they took good care of him. The social worker Martha is an awesome person, she listens to what you have to say. She is very easy to talk too, I wish there were more people like Martha, she always made you feel welcome when she sees you. Thanks again Martha you are a awesome person.

It is so reassuring to know that your loved one is happy and healthy. I would not recommend any other place than here. My Grandfather has been there for about a year and a half now. He is 99 year old and living his best years with people who care about him. Thank You August for being there for him
