I cannot say enough how impressed and grateful I am with Callaway Good Life Center and the staff. My mom had to stay there a couple of different times for swing bed needs after hospitalization. They took such great care of her and truly made her feel at home. They went over and above so many times to provide the best care for her and gave us the peace of mind to trust her in their care!
