The Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehab Center is a most welcoming center beginning with the front desk receptionist. It is bright and cheerful. The staff are courteous, professional, and very helpful. The center’s floors are spacious and bright. The modern-appearing physical therapy department is bright and full of activity with the residents. Its courtyard is beautiful and would probably be even more beautiful as the Spring season flowers bloom over the next few weeks. Wonderful atmosphere for the residents!

To start off, when you first enter the most important part is the person at the front desk. The woman that I had was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. The walk to the elevator you can already see it's a clean place. While passing nurses most say hello and a smile. And the really most important part is my mom and aunt, both in the same room are very happy with their nurses and the attention they get, so that's a great thing. The only thing I can complain about is the heat!! Wow it's hot in there, my next visit im going in shorts and tee shirt, lol. Since that is my only complaint id say this place is a home run so far.
