My grandma was admitted here a little while ago and she was treated amazing. I’ve heard stories about facility’s that don’t treat their residents kindly and respectfully but that’s not the case here. My grandma spoke so fondly of everyone who was there taking care of her and I am so appreciative of all the staff here

This facility is amazing! My dad stayed here for a few weeks while recovering from surgery and he always had good things to say about the staff. The nurses and caregivers are kind and very attentive! I highly recommend sending your loved ones here for any post op care!

This facility is amazing and I would highly recommend bringing your loved one here. My grandma was admitted here for a hip fracture and they had her walking again in 3 weeks. The staff is very attentive and everybody addresses all the issues very quickly.

I'm not going to mention any names but the star rating would go up if some of the staff would retire or leave. Kitchen in my opinion is awesome. Most of the Maintenance and CNA's are really nice and helpful. Social Worker is cool. Director of Nurcing and her Assistant lisen to me. I'm going to be nice and not mention things that bother me about this place. It's really hard having to live in this kind of environment as young as I am. I have a lot of issues from throwing up multiple times a day, bad back and tale bone, knee, neck, foot drop with a ankle that locks. It's the best of a bad situation I guess. I try and better myself and my tale bone pain really hurts and my back is tight especially when I sleep and sit up or sit in my wheelchair for long periods of time. I'm still suffering from about 2 months ago where i was in it for a long time twice the time of normal. I'm thinking I may need surgery for my back and my foot? I'm really scared of surgery on my back because if Hulk Hogan died from back surgeries with all his money and resources imagine a average guy like me. I believe the disk in my back are bad. I can say I'm getting baby steps better at least with my foot. If it wasn't for my back I'd believe I'd be having greater improvement.
