  All of the personnel were terrific. Very courteous and attentive. We especially would like to recognize one of the CNA's Natalie. She was absolutely wonderful. My mother loved her. Natalie was so very nice to her and was easily able to get my mother to take a shower and to smile. Also Rickie the PT person was great with her enthusiasm and humor. Thank you all for your service.

  My mom was sent here after a fall which she fractured her wrist and knee. She was not fed the first night and the next day. Some of the CNA's took care of her well, but there was a few CNA's that were rude, unprofessional, they belittled my mom. These CNA's need to have more patience, be more companionate or they need to find a different type of employment. The food was always cold, never had a real change in menu. Also head of physical therapy needs to be more professional and be attentive to the patient's needs and listen and not scold the patient like they are a child. Also nursing staff needs to be more attentive to the patient's call lights and tend to the patient more quickly not 1 to 2 hours later. They need to have better air ventilation in the rooms for when patients use the bathroom and some sort of air freshener, shower area is very cold and they take the patients showers with the window open when it is extremely cold. When you call to express your concerns they do not answer and when they finally do they try to resolve the problem for that moment but then goes back to the same. There are some good nurses, professional, doing their job right and also the wound nurses were very good, professional and compassionate. My mom was able to speak for herself but for the patients that are unable to speak who knows how they are being treated. These patients are someone's parents, grandparents and should be treated like you would want your family members to be treated. If we do not speak our concerns nothing will ever be done and change for the better of the patients.

  My dad was placed here. We met extremely nice, loving , caring employees. Their names were Samantha Cortez & Rosa. They went above and beyond to care for my dad. They genuinely loved him. My family will forever remember this. 5 Star all the way. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟We even invited them to his 80th birthday. We became family. ❤️😍 They truly were God sent.
