My husband spent six days in this facilty. We had to move him to get him closer to our home. However, CCMF was amazing. My husband was well cared for, the staff was professional, kind and patient. I can't say enough, how impressed I was with this facility.

Do not let the airy hallways and shiny floors fool you. The "care" in this facility is sloppy, inconsistent, lacking in compassion, neglectful, frighteningly unprofessional.

My dad had the most pleasant rehabilitation experience at this facility. They are very well organized, and very professional. It is also a very clean facility. They would definitely be my first choice if Dad has to come back for more rehab.

Over the past 12 years, I have been in three other nursing facilities for various reasons and this one is the HILTON of nursing facilities. I used to work in healthcare so I have an unique perspective that a lot of residents don't have. And I can honestly say this is the best place around.

Very disappointed in the care that my father received. They do not know how to take care of somebody that has dementia with Parkinson's. He is at the Oaks and they wonderful!!
