“Staff members are very attentive to patients and work tirelessly to give proper care to loved ones.

“I went to visit a friend at Acclaim and when I walked in the entrance it was clean and inviting ! I got on the elevator and got off on her floor and I thought I stepped into a time capsule . I was shocked because it was so outdated and looked NOTHING like the lobby. I went to her room and it was not clean by my standards. She was sitting in her wheelchair watching a TV the size of my purse.…”
