Outstanding staff (at ALL levels), who seem to add so much uplift to many of the residents going through difficult times of physical rehab & life adjustments. Life can bring us all through rough times, but it's always such a blessing to see our friends feeling more positivity & encouragement in their outlooks.

My husband has been here for rehab for 10 days now. Improvement is needed in the following areas: until yesterday, my husband had only been offered & provided 1 bath/shower. (Supposed to be 3x a wk.) The nursing aid who did give him a bath was not even assigned to him. Amber is an Angel! My husband is a vegetarian & his tray notes such but he has been served meat numerous times. OFTEN there are no condiments served to enhance flavor of food. My husband was provided 1 pair of no skid socks until yesterday, despite asking for a clean pair numerous times. Yes, it does smell like urine and/or feces at times. It is a nursing facility. I suspect staffing is an ongoing issue. An inventory was never done with my husband and I. He has " lost" a pair of shorts & his phone charger was damaged.
