I've had my dad here for skilled therapy and my mom for therapy then she transitioned to long term care. I could not have asked for better care. Therapy did GREAT with both of them and nursing was superb. The CNAs had my mom spoiled before she passed. I would definitely recommend them.

My 83 year old Mom was in Donaldson after breaking her hip. Mom was there for over three months and the care she received from the nurses was wonderful. Physical therapy worked with her at least two times a day until she was up and walking again. When time came for Mom to go home she hated to leave them because they were so good to her.
