I’ve been in quite a few nursing home / rehab visiting family members. I’ve never seen one that I was happy with. And some were horrible. This facility is fantastic. It’s clean. Everyone is well cared for etc.

To all the nurses, therapists, and support staff: thank you for your unwavering support, patience, and dedication. Your teamwork creates a safe space for my husband where real healing happens every single day. It takes a very special group of people to do what you do. Thank you for working

Obviously transferring mom to a skilled nursing facility was a very difficult time. I had never heard of Stanford Court prior to yesterday. And as of right now, I cannot say enough, good things about it! From the very moment, mom was admitted, the follow up process in making sure all of the medical documentation with her transfer from the Hospital was in place, involving the family and getting information in order to proceed with the best plan of care for mom, everything has been amazing. There is an absolutely wonderful staff there so far and a fantastic security system built-in so that no one can get in to see your loved one without photo identification. On top of all of that, the facility is beautiful. I have not seen all of it yet, but I have seen the Finch aviary and the Koi pond and the gardens which I look forward to taking mom to once she is up in the wheelchair. The rooms are nice and clean and it is the first time mom has been in any hospital bed and not complained about how uncomfortable it is. The nursing staff has been very attentive, and it did my heart good as I was saying good night to my mom last night and she was being offered chocolate ice cream as a nighttime snack. As of right now, I could not give this facility a higher review or a higher recommendation.
