Had a wonderful experience recently with my mother who is a resident there. The new Director of Nursing was WONDERFUL! Came over to us on one of her first days while I was visiting and introduced herself to me and my mom personally. Letting us know if we have ANY concerns or questions at all that she is always available to us. Her and the new NHA truly care about their residents and staff. My mother told me that "she treats me like family, like I'm her mother. It's lovely", and my mother is a hard lady to impress. Honestly I cannot say enough about the staff there, they are all wonderful. I have never had a negative thing to say!!

I am so taken by the cozy, family type atmosphere in this facility. The staff has been nothing but supportive and caring for our family member residing here. Anything needed is accommodated. Our family member had come from a much larger facility where her care was also good, but the sheer volume of patients residing there made it seem like she was just a number. At Kadima, the pace is much slower and quieter. Our family member feels very comfortable, safe and very well taken care of here.
