Some things questionable, but what do you expect from a nursing home?? Overall they do a pretty good job taking care of my grandma. Most staff are very polite and friendly to residents as well as family, guests of residents. They always encourage/include and welcome family members of residents to join in resident activities. They have a lot of activities and supportive staff. For a nursing home, the best I've seen.

Several orders were sent over from the hospital for rehab but admissions don't get back to the patient advocate. The admissions lady is rude and abrasive!!!!!!! WOW!

Bishop Noa Home was a peaceful and loving place for my favorite Auntie to spend her last years. I enjoyed visiting her often and sharing meals with her. She was always so proud to show me around and introduce me to the staff and residents alike!
