“The first person I saw was the receptionist. She was so helpful and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. And the service has been consistently good with all the staff. The nurses and aides are good, the nursing manager during the day was exceptional, and the food is good. They have activities and I believe our mom is getting excellent care. This is a great rehabilitation place.”
