“Our mom stayed here in the transitional care for 21 days. Our family has dealt with many care facilities through the years. Apple Valley Village was excellent. Their social worker kept us informed and made us feel like we had choices and options. Their therapists got our mom walking again! We are so grateful for everyone’s efforts. Our family is so thankful!!”

“Do yourself a favor and start digging yourself a grave. This place is terrible!!!! The staff could careless about your needs. The rooms are 80 plus degrees and good luck getting your medication. My mother-in-law didn't make it 24 hours before us having to remove her. Wish I could give zero stars!!!!”
