“The place is clean and staff very helpful. The residents seem to all be elderly and needing care and or rehabilitation. The halls seem to get a little congested with patients certain times of the day and it looks like they are all in wheel chairs. The staff are friendly although there are times when they are short staffed. It’s a hard job and they work constantly. As far as the food goes it …”

There is even a baby grand piano to add a flavor of Elegance to the area. The hallways are spacious and decorated with lovely landscape paintings. The large activities calendar posted at the main hall…”

“Omg. What a pleasant entrance. Beautiful atmosphere with residents singing very lovely songs accompanied by the piano. I wanted to stay with them and sing along and see the lit happy smiley faces of the residents. That’s what families want to see when they visit their relative in there. Hands down for Standford Court Skilled Nursing and Rehab center.”
