The Social Worker Taylor is amazing. So helpful with anything we need done.<br>She goes out of the way to help the patients!! Even delivered something for the patient after discharge because it was not supposed to be sent to the facility.. it was supposed to go to her home!!<br>The facility doesn’t smell bad anymore either.
