From that point, our experience was wonderful. The nursing staff and rehabilitation staff were attentive…”

“I am impressed with the complete overhaul of Aster Creek (formerly Wardell Gardens). While the physical overhaul is very nice, I am most pleased with the care they are providing to my loved one in particular. The staff shows genuine care and concern for its residents. This is comforting to know especially when you are unable to personally care for them yourself. Congratulations Aster Creek Adm…”
