The staff are nice, responsive and courteous. The only concern I have is that my mother needs low salt diet and is still on regular. But the food is still delicious and a great variety!

The wonderful nursing team - Mary, Brian, Dave and Freddie- really went the extra mile to care for my father in - law. The therapy team Sarah, Phil , Peg and Able, are truly skilled and caring clinicians. The activity department is fantastic, always keeping patient happy and engaged in various activities. This facility itself is well managed and delivers compassionate care.

My dad was recently a patient on the 6th floor, and the care he received was absolutely amazing. The nurses truly went above and beyond—they were kind, attentive, and made sure he was always comfortable. The doctors were very efficient and communicated clearly, which gave our family so much peace of mind. Even the food was delicious, which really helped keep his spirits up during his stay. We are so grateful for everyone on the 6th floor. Thank you all for the incredible care—you made a difficult time so much easier for our family. ❤️

I came to re-admit a pt to a private agency. The staff were very helpful especially an Asian girl at the desk (i’m sorry I didn’t get her name). She was wonderful!! I also spoke with a nurse that was decorating for St. Patrick’s Day and a social worker named Heather. Everyone I met was wonderful.
