“This is rev. royce Beasley. I am impressed with this facility. If you need help physically, emotionally or spiritually, you contact South Mountain. My experience here has been above and beyond. Call Jess or Alison in admissions, they will work with you. Say you heard it from Pastor Beasley. Inserted is a picture of me and my favorite Doctor here”

“Taking off one star because the food was pretty bad, BUT the facility was very clean and the staff was incredible.
