I had a good visit with 2 patients. They both bragged on the workers on how well they were treated. Thank you for taking good care of them.

My mom was admitted for rehab. She’s been there 3 weeks and she’s doing great. The staff are kind. The rooms are clean. The place smells good. Mom actually enjoys eating the food she says it has a good flavor. The people are just outstanding. The nurses are compassionate, the CNA‘s are as compassionate as well. Jennifer, the admitting administrator, has been awesome. The resources are amazing. I would choose Camellia Gardens and would go if I needed to.

We went to vist my uncle William Collins. He had food on him. I understand they are busy around breakfast. He also had fork spoon and cup in his bedding. He was complaining he was uncomfortable. I turned him with pillow. The bed is to short for him. His feet were hurting. I rolled a blanket up and placed them Under his calf to get his feet off the bed. The can was in the room taking vital signs. Wouldn't it be easier to adjust paintings while your are in there.

Everyone that I have talked with or encountered in passing has been very pleasant and professional. Thank God for people like this that do what they do. Am getting attached to some of the staff and residents. If I was able I would be there 3 or 4 days a week volunteering. Love and prayers to the staff and residents. Every time we go visit here, we are blessed by residents and staff. Thank everyone!
