This place is terrible, would not recommend it to anyone. had my mom their, the quality of care is horrible, it smells really bad. No one can ever answer your questions and no one knows who is in charge. The staff take forever to help the patient when they ask for something. They would not give my mom a shower unless we asked them to do it.

Honestly, I don’t think I have the proper words to describe the “red carpet treatment” that this place offers! My grandma was transferred here and I was nervous about it because of the lack of compassion that came from a few staff at Marian Hospital. I was hoping for less disappointment and goodness I’m glad I was wrong! So many staff members make things fun for residents they have activities and a cute little patio area as well, aside from that the staff is pure gold like 24K gold they hear you and they actually listen provide care and make adjustments whenever necessary. Brianna, Iris, Perkins, Tony and Ryan Fuentes are only a handful of staff that have not ceased to amaze me and go above and beyond to ensure my grandma is happy, safe and healthy literally words can’t express how grateful I am for these wonderful people who have compassion for the residents and especially my grandma who has become a favorite here :] Thank you for sharing your care and support through and through I appreciate you so all so much! I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for decency and care.

I am a visitor. I have a different perspective than being a resident. I'm a visitor 2 c a good friend. I find the place clean. I miss the finches which I believe provided numerous positive health benefits to all. The staff is professional and courteous. Sadly and euphemistically my friend has her boarding pass & my future awaits me.

This Extended Care Facility is Top Notch. They provide excellent care for their patients and pay attention to every detail. Both of my Grandparents went to heaven from there and now my Mom is there temporarily to help her get back on her feet so that she can come home. So Thank You to the entire staff. God Bless You all. Sincerely, James Wiseman

I felt so welcome as I came through the front door. I liked the new sign in that scans your temperature as you sign in. The person I was visiting was ready for our visit and the staff show so much concern for her. As I went with my friend to the activity room we were part of a group activity that was very engaging and fun. The modernization looks great!
