This is one of the most friendly, welcoming, loving nursing homes I have ever had the pleasure of working with. As a marketing director, I have worked with many nursing homes over the years, & sometimes one sticks out a bit more than others & this one is just incredible. The residents love the staff & vice versa. Would highly recommend to anyone in search of skilled care or rehab! ♥️ specifically shouting out Jenyfer, Michaela, Diane, and all of their staff! Keep doing what you’re doing!
