“I am a previous resident at this place. I want to thank Sonny, Brianna and Dominick social service team for treating me like a king. They helped me from day 1 and assisted me with finding an amazing place to be discharged to. I cannot thank them enough for the compassionate care they provided me. They went beyond and above. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I was a patient here , the maintenance team was very nice and helpful , my escort anna Watson was really nice and especially my discharge planner Mr sonny really help me get home care and make sure I was okay.”

★★Eric Cortes · 2022-08-13 · via Google
“The security guard standing by the door on Saturday, August 13th was rude and uncouth. We wanted information about how to visit our loved one, not a grumpy lecture. If they want people to send their loves here, they should change the first person they see on the way in. To be fair, the nurse who we spoke to about this was incredible kind, and promised to speak to him and remedy it, so, “two stars.…”
