“I recently visited my uncle who is a patient there and I was totally surprised as to how clean the place was. They take good care of their patients and treat them with respect. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming and they made sure that I was properly accommodated.”

“This is the worst place I every heard of. My daughter in law was the a few days they was not taking care of good. The 5 stars is a lie. The stuff didn't clear her. They left her in 💩 .
