I once heard it’s the people not the paint That being said, count on experience, compassion and some humor from the following pros: Flo, Caress, Eva, Camisha, Tasha, Lisa, Shay, Reba, Leslie, Michelle, Andrea and many others like Gus, Jamie and Jennifer. I hope the new company can keep talent like this around and not over work them. I met most of these angels when my late mother in law was a resident. I trusted them again to rehab my mother who broke a hip and she walked out of there today with all kinds of fan fare. Thanks for all the love 💕 George

Grateful for the loving care and attention provided by the staff. The people who work here are full of compassion and have a great wealth of experience and humor. The building is definitely old but Avir seems to be making steps in fixing things up. As I like to say “It’s about the PEOPLE not the paint.”

This is an unsafe environment! The nurses are rude and even managers from ALL departments. Unacceptable behavior. My grandfather was injured and neglected. I am going to sue.
