It’s great here as a traveler but if you want to be staff here like they always want you to be , they lowball you and don’t call back until 10 days later . Make it make sense !! The activity director is outstanding with a heart of gold , nurses and cnas are exceptional and Beth the wound nurse is such a great soul.
