Imagine how humiliating that is when you can use the toile…”

“This facility is kept very clean and tidy. The staff are very attentive and caring, and all speak fluent English. Daily activities, lovely grounds. It is located in a rural out of the way area, very quiet. They do have a dementia unit as well as long term and post-acute. Not the fanciest facility around, but we were very happy when there for rehab.”
