Toured facility to understand the services and care offered. The question about price isn't applicable as every resident is on Medicaid.

The nurses are absolutely wonderful humans. They support our brother and our family.<br><br>These nurses treat each resident as if they were the only person they have to care for each day. Although they have many residents on their floor, each person is given personalized attention and care.<br><br>Thank you to each and every employee and volunteer!
