Facility is clean and you walk into facility greeted warmly by Administration. You go to a clean private room and service begins immediately. The staff here from housekeeping to the top blow you away. They work as a team with class and good manners. Your human dignity is protected, and the PT and OT staff just blow you away helping you regain your independence. The reality of what makes Shadelands a great facility is definitely the staff, who work together as a team and have good knowledge of their job and treat the patients with class and dignity. The food is appreciated as it is served with variety and very fresh. It takes a village to make a village with good people. You have that here. Plus a clean facility and I am glad I had the opportunity to recoup here.<br>Thank you

The staff is wonderful, very caring, cheerful, and professional, all of them, CNAs, RNs, PTs, OTs, administrators. The Physical and Occupational Therapists are superb, and really help the healing process. Very clean, bright, and comfortable facilities. The meals are remarkably good with a lot of variety.

We had a horrible experience. There was no one at the front desk to tell me where my mom is. I had to wander around the facilities. The one staffer said she couldn't hear my mom, then when I told her, she said she heard hear. Drs at John Muir had instructions for my mom to be on a blood thinner. Found out thru Tice Valley they didn't start this. When they transferred my mom back to Tiffany Court, they left the PICCline in, her gown was soaking wet, no paper work. This place is horrible!!!!
