Most of the employees are just p…”

“My cousins husband has been in here for a few years now and the staff treat him so well, even with being so short staffed. We are pleased and more importantly my cousins husband is pleased with his care. My cousin has just gotten out of rehab here from a fall. She was very pleased with her care. These caring employees deserve so much more. I wish the owners of this center would see their worth.”
