  Staff us always very helpful & courteous. My relative has been there at least 5 years. I try to visit him as often as I can. The nurses and day staff are very professional. Whenever I bring issues to their attention they take care of it. Paula, Elsa, Angelica and few others that I have interacted with are very caring and friendly. I appreciate the care they give. They bring to my attention any changes or issues about my relative. I don’t know anything about the night staff so I can’t comment on them. I pray they are as caring as the staff that’s there during the day. Also the facility is always clean and patients seem to be pretty well groomed. I appreciate the emails that keep me informed about Covid issues within the facility and visitation rules. Honestly I have been to other facilities that were much worse. I’m thankful my relative is here. No place will be perfect. It’s the responsibility of family members & friends to check in on their loved ones to make sure they are receiving the care they need. If not they need to report it.

  We would like to thank the nurses, staff, the physical therapists, employees, and management for helping my dad with all the needs he needed while he was staying there. Everyone was very helpful, welcoming and attentive. Thank you once again and for the guidance that we needed. Anytime we needed help or items, they provide it to us.
