As no place here on earth is "Perfect" Skyline was a good place for my mom for the past 6 years. They are as accomodating as allowed to be, and have many great care givers. In her final days they were very attentive and caring to my mom and to us. No ones goal in life is to go live at a nursing home, but they do try to make things as normal and pleasent as possible for the residents. Thank you to all the Staff.

The rooms are in disrepair corners are dirty Horrible patient care Wth wth minimal patients you would think The staff would be more attentive The staff is negligent nd rude I sat in my aunt’s room and in the hall was a plastic spoon and straw on the floor we left her room for around 45 min when we came back they were still on the floor I ended up picking them up there were several staff members walking around them Years ago this was the top rated care Center in Canon now it is truly the worst

This review refers to my introduction and help in transferring a recent hospital discharge to Skyline Ridge Rehab. The help was immediate and exemplary with excellent follow through to move the patient and settle him for rehab at Skyline Ridge. Thank you.

Mom has been in Skyline Ridge now for 10 months. I would rate our experience as excellent. The facility is clean and well maintained, the food has been good and served hot and the nursing staff have been kind and loving. Overall we are very happy with Skyline Ridge.

This use to be a wonderful place for your loved ones. The nurses still do an outstanding job. It’s the new management that has screwed up everything especially in the apartment area next to Skyline! They have taken away all the perks these older people loved and enjoyed. He is firing people left and right and there is little no maintenance being done. I think Stellar needs to open their eyes and see exactly what is going on! Seems they just want someone in charge of cutting costs and not the residents.
