“My mom is a long term patient at Brunswick Health & Rehab and she has been there for about four years. I have been extremely satisfied with her care. I have had no bad experiences. The people that work there are friendly and caring. My mom has her favorites but I think they all take very good care of her. We recently celebrated her 100th birthday there!”
