Resident & family reviews
The last few month's of my father's life, he had to be in a nursing home. We checked out several places, but none of them that were close had the staffing who was trained to deal with a tracheotomy resident. Turns out, my mother used to work with the DON of this facility. She promised us that daddy would get the highest quality of care, and she more than delivered on that promise! No matter what time of the day we went to visit daddy, he was ALWAYS clean, dressed appropriately, had everything he needed and wanted. I imagine that to receive any higher quality of care, daddy would have to be in the hands of the angels like he is now. My family and I will forever be thankful to this home and the staff. They treated my daddy as if he was a king, and I cannot say enough good comments about this facility and their wonderful staff!
