My deepest gratitude goes to the incredible Physical Therapy team — Gill, Whitney, and Maggie — and to the wonderful Occupational Therapy group, Megan and Khylie. To the amazing nurses, including James, Wilson, and every dedicated member of your team, thank you for your steady care and kindness.<br><br>A heartfelt thank‑you as well to Jordan, my social worker, and to Ally, whose commitment as an Admissions Coordinator truly went above and beyond.

The care that my fiancée dad received from the nurses here is horrible. His bandages dont look like they've been charged and haven't been regularly witch are to be charged daily and his beding looks like it hasn't been charged as well. They definitely don't interact with residents much at all definitely need to step up there game on providing health care to the residents here.

Plenty of room for A lot of improvement, their kitchen serves meals on chipped and cracked plates. Kitchen staff ignores known allergy warnings that are clearly marked in red on the ticket I had to repeatedly tell them. The kitchen feeds these residents in tiny portions these are adults not 5 year olds in daycare. Example in the morning they give an "egg bite" and cold toast for breakfast that "egg bite" is the size of a fifty cent piece. They also have a second menu that's "always available" when you inquire about this kitchen acts like it's such an imposition. When they give "showers" they treat the residents like it's a car wash. Or they act like they are washing animals. This comes from word of mouth experience. Direct from the source.
