The renovations to the building and the upgrades in staff make Clifton Heights the place to go for our elderly loved ones - both for long term care and short term rehab. With new but highly experienced staff including the executive director, director of nursing, social services, and business office, the folks at Clifton have found their stride and are on a strong path to excellence!!! I highly recommend!!

I am very grateful to be here; staff is very kind and attentive. I can’t remember a time when any nurse, aide, or other staff has left my room without inquiring if I need anything else. I am going to be here for an extended period of time, and I appreciate the turnaround Journey Healthcare has made at Clifton Heights.

We had a great experience with nursing care at Clifton Heights. The staff is compassionate, attentive, and truly goes the extra mile to make resident’s feel comfortable and safe. The facility is clean well maintained and creates a welcoming environment to feel more like home than a healthcare setting. What stands out most is the genuine care of the resident’s shown by the team from nursing to administration it is clear they are dedicated to providing quality care, supporting both the residents and families during important times. I would absolutely recommend considering Clifton Heights for anyone looking for dependable, compassionate Care for short term or long term care.
