I have been a patient to AAH Hospital twice in E.R and Admitted once. I feel this is important enough to share to those who may need to hear it. I have never felt so safe, so taken care of from every single staff member that crossed my path in my care. From compassion, prompt testing, to relief I desperately needed to keep me going. They will never know how grateful I truly am. Much to many to name but Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Lee, Dr Payne and Dr. Chakravorty.

The staff are excellent and know what they're doing. No long wait times. I can get my labs done right there. I made an appointment. I was seen the next day. All my questions were answered. Got my results the same day. A+

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
