Overall would recommend

The staff is very caring we have taken my mom out on a couple of vacations and she had a hospital stay. They called and checked on her. When she was ready to go back I called the RN and she was on top of everything and very willing to get everything mom needed together for us to leave for vacation the next morning.

Edencrest Review

Weekend staff were not so good, they were all contracted staff. They were very expensive and charged me for 15 days after she died. This is not a place I would consider if I need it.
