Caring staff, clean but pricey
I'm glad I picked this place - the nurses, CNAs and aides are excellent, caring and consistent, though I've seen the occasional unhelpful staffer. Meals and dining options vary; food is usually acceptable and sometimes flavorful. The building is old and a bit dreary and institutional, but clean, functional and offers private rooms. Rehab and meds are managed (therapy is limited), and activities, wheelchair-accessible entertainment and religious services are available. It's family-owned and expensive.
