I went there as a hospice respite patient. This is a place of great faith, hope and compassion. Everyday they made sure I knew the activities being offered. I got a manicure, played with therapy dogs and went to Mass. I was also brought communion several times. I believe these were not only good for my spiritual side but also my mental health. The woman that provided pastoral care came by everyday to check on me and pray with me. The food is restaurant quality and the kitchen staff are very accommodating. I have a serious fish/shellfish allergy. They made sure there was no cross contamination. They were always friendly and in a great mood. The nursing staff was excellent! Even the director of nursing came by to check on the quality of care. I had a very nice private room with its own bathroom. My family and friends could visit whenever they wanted to visit me. I also made friends there. Rosary Care Center gave me my strength back so I can enjoy my grandchildren for now. God bless everyone at Rosary Care Center!

Britney, Hilary, and Nikki were amazing! The nurses and staff are exceptional! My mom has dementia and broke her femur. These ladies along with all of the staff went over and beyond to help my mom and my family feel confident and comfortable. I am very impressed with the care my mother received here. I would highly recommend for therapy or long term stays. Everyone works together like a family and they truly care about your loved one. If I could give ten stars I would!!!

They HIDE my friend's chart letting the nurses and aides know the fact that she was dropped on her head from a lift from 4ft up, by an aide who neglected to get the second employee to help her, which is State Law! Who does that? Her diet is paramount to her life, as she is diabetic and is still fed sugar. She has other intestinal issues that prevent her from eating certain foods and continues to get them on her plate! Not trustworthy in those departments. At this point, not a good place to send anyone until the administrators get serious about their staff, sad to say.

There is something very fishy going on here. They hide behind the Christian front when actually they are money-grubbing corporate shills. Watch out for the night nurse. She's lazy, careless with medications and doesn't allow residents to use the bathroom when she's on duty. The nursing director is a condescending liar, and the administrator is a spineless wimp. Our loved one suffered a fall that lead to her death. They covered it up, didn't call us or hospice when it happened, and lied on several reports. The night nurse made up a story that was physically impossible for the victim. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE.
