My brother Robert Davis was here for a month. He was extremely weak, fragile and downright grumpy at times!! But I have to say the staff here was always super considerate, kind and had a lot of patience with him the whole time he was there. Thank you Golden Hills for helping my brother recover and go back home!

Never took proper care of my mother when she called for help. Went to go pick up her things and my $40 iPhone charger was missing. SHAME.
