Both my parents spent their final years there and we felt very fortunate. MVH is absolutely first class with everything they do.

My mother died there in 2017. She fell out of her bed several times because they wouldn't put up the railings I put them up a couple times I got putting them down. I put them up another time and they actually zip tie them down. I took my knife and cut the zip ties. Let's just say administrator knows what I'd like to do to him but I prefer not to end up in prison. LOL I wouldn't let them take care of a dog!!! She was in there for rehab they don't know what the word means!!

These people are Simply the Best. The facility is kept in pristine fashion. Every single person there is so nice and they are all focused on the patients all the time. Frankly, I wish I ate there all the time the food is always freshly prepared and very very delicious. The kitchen is very aware of patients preferences and favorites. They believe in Cutting Edge practice and technology and good old-fashioned love and patience. If you're considering places like this please give a visit, I believe you will be impressed and feel comfortable.

I can not get over just how wonderful this place is. During one of the hardest things to go through in life.. Having to decide that your parent can no longer care for themselves and then needing a place that will care for them like you know they deserve. Well... this is the place. These people are genuinely caring and they are at the top of their game when it comes to knowledge, performance and dedication. With bright faces, the attention to details and energetic personalities, they make any person forget that true independance is no longer an option. The facilty is spotless..and it offers every kind of hospitality and entertainment to the FAMILIES let alone the residents.. But the attention to caring for each person that resides here is just amazing. I hope that one day when it comes time for me ... I can find a place even HALF as wonderful. Can I move in NOW? :).......... (I love you Dad)
