We had a great experience with the staff. They accommodated my mother’s requests and were friendly and available. We feel she got the best possible care under the circumstances.

The rooms are private which I appreciated. Cleanliness wasn't the best - walls had stuff on them, we finally cleaned it ourselves. Housekeepers are nice but, maybe there is not enough of them. The food was more often than not cool to cold constantly. There is no seasoning to provide some flavor, foods are extremely bland. I never had fresh fruit. Menus are too repetitive with the same things offered for an entire weekly menu cycle (for example, tuna salad sandwich - no other sandwich offered). Little considera…

Most of the people are great it's the food that's horrible! It saddens me to know that the physical therapy department isn't gonna be the same! Most of them are gonna be leaving because of the outrageous healthcare prices went up so far that they can't survive especially if they have children! I just know that if I have to have another surgery and need rehabilitation,if the same people are not here then I'm not going back! They are all great together! I really wish they would've done s…
