“Chardon woods has a group of the most caring nursing staff I’ve ever seen. The nursing staff had a cook out for the residents to help them celebrate summer starting ! There isn’t anything the staff would not do to make sure the residents are enjoying themselves and to see them smile!”

The bad: I found many violations in plain sight: 1: …”

“I am a resident here. Never would think of anywhere ℹ be other than here. The nurses and aides have been phenomenal. Anytime I need help they are right there to take care of me. Administration has been amazing and willing to go out of the way to please its residents.”
