I cannot say enough good things about the standard of care at this facility. The teamwork here is excellent, and it shows how well the residents are looked after.<br>Coordination has been just as seamless, largely thanks to the Case Manager, Ellen. She have been instrumental in managing the care, keeping me updated, and always accessible. The professionalism have made a challenging transition so much easier. Highly recommend!<br>The CNAs particularly Hebila and Sheila deserve immense praise for their outstanding, proactive care. They are incredibly attentive, gentle, and always respond whenever my husband needs assistance, which brings our family so much comfort.

The facility is a short-term convelescent/ respite care one. I was pleasantly surprised that upon entering it smelled very good. I was greeted at the front desk & signed in. All the staff were friendly, and professional. Anyone under their care will receive a multidisciplinary care approach, from dietary, PT/OT, medication management, and other resources through the case manager. I would recommend anyone being placed, or having a loved one placed here.
