The Wellington Care Center is a wonderful place for my mother! The administration and staff has been over the top regarding her care. They are very attentive to her needs. My mother has been in 3 facilities within this past month due to many medical issues and this is the first place weve actually felt like humans instead of just a number going through their system. I would recommend the WCC for any loved one.
