When I had questions or concerns about my mom’s health the staff would fill me in with details about my mom’s health concerns. Sulma was very helpful getting my mom admitted and Stacy, Juan, and Becky were always attentive and helpful. Very grateful for the care my mom received during her time at Golden Madera.
