Spent two weeks here for hip fracture rehab. OP and OT staff were exceptional. Professional and so supportive and knowledgeable. Nursing staff were caring and got my meds on time. My recovery went well because the staff was so attentive. Thank you Shukson

Where do I begin? I have never felt so loved and cared for in my entire life. From the people who prepared my food, cleaned my room every day to the incredible physical and occupational therapy and maintenance. The nurses work amazingly to make sure may meds were right. The staff at the front office and financial expert were encouraging and kind. The CNA's gave me such good care. Not one complaint. I loved talking with them about their jobs and lives. I loved the residents. One gentleman always gave me encouragement and support. Jay, who I believe was head of admissions came in every morning to check on me and asking me if I needed anything. It was difficult to leave. I felt like I was leaving my family. Who ever is reading this and considering a facility for a loved one, you couldn't"t find a more professional and loving environment. They are the best!<br><br>I wanted to mention the speech therapist. She taught me how to sharpen my mind and think with clarity and a deeper understanding how speech and mental acuity work as a unit.
