My brother was sent to the care facility with a broken arm and dementia. His paperwork was lost on the first day. His clothes disappeared along with a new fleece blanket. We were told that his name would be ironed on his clothes but they were never returned. We had to ask for a urinal and they had trouble finding one. He lost 10 lbs when he was in their care - he had a broken arm and couldn’t cut food but it sat in front of him with no help. His mood changed dramatically after a week. I would never recommend this facility to anyone!

My grandma is at sterling park and she says they are pushing her out they have her doing physical therapy and tell her she's doing great yet she says she cant really do them and they told her she will be out soon but she keeps telling them she doesn't feel like she is ready or equipped yet but they do not listen not 1 bit If I was in charge of her care I'd remove her and bring her somewhere else

The ENTIRE staff at Sterling Park is absolutely amazing! My mother-in-law was there on and off for 2 months, and she was always happy. Seriously, I am super happy that Karen chose to go there! Thanks to all the staff at Sterling Park for making my mother-in-laws stay the best!

The care and the therapy I've received at Sterling Park has been good. A lot of the staff really seem to care and spend extra time explaining things. It is a family atmosphere. And if I can't be at home, I am glad I am here.
