I want to take a moment to recognize the CNA Shoronda Wilson for the exceptional care she gives my grandma here. Knowing that someone I love is in the hands of a compassionate, patient, and genuinely caring person brings so much peace of mind. The CNA Shoronda Wilson consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my grandma feels comfortable, respected, and cared for. She treats her with kindness, dignity, and so much compassion, and it’s clear that she truly loves what she does. Every interaction reflects her dedication, professionalism, and warm heart. My family is incredibly grateful for everything the CNA Shoronda Wilson has done. She has made such a positive difference in my grandma’s life, and we couldn’t ask for a better CNA. Thank you, to the CNA Shoronda Wilson, for your hard work, your patience, and for treating my grandma like she truly matters. You are deeply appreciated, and the care you provide does not go unnoticed.

This place kind of sucks the way they do things don't want to get into the particulars that you may have an open mind but by choice I wouldn't come back some of the stuff we're really nice and really tried I appreciated that. Also 2 CNA's first Lucky very kind considerate always with a and bringing Joy looking out checking on you beautiful heart beautiful person thank you for your kindness and care. Also the night cna Lauren thank you for your care ,patience, attentiveness always checking if I needed anything thank you. If I could comment on the staff i would have no complaints except for a few that could have stepped up their game here and there but for the most part the staff was good treat you nice with respect except for one nurse which I had to put a complaint. My issue with the facility to me is there rehab program Bonita step it up. Because I couldn't walk or get out of my bed they would say let's try to stand okay I couldn't but guess what there's other things that I could do until I'm able to stand so when I wasn't able to stand they just walked away and called it good that I did rehab I would have to tell them I wanted to do other exercises or there's other things that I could do to get to the point where I can stand don't just say you can't stand and then walk away and then the sessions were only a few minutes there's only one time did a guy work with me for 30 minutes which I really appreciated. The physical therapy people were lazy. After I was able to walk I wasn't able to walk that long so I sat back down and I told him I wanted to do some exercises instead they brought me a paper and sit here and do homework it only took me 3 minutes to walk after that there should have been more time where I could have been doing some exercises but they threw papers on me sit here and do it on your own that wasn't cool and that happened to me a few times
