Kitchen staff is amazing, my father has been here for a month and he has had 10/10 experience with all the staff here, and especially the kitchen staff, they are amazing. The kitchen staff is amazing to my father especially. They're really nice and by far the best staff there.

The staff here nurses,aids and doctors are awesome. The food service department is TERRIBLE. From day 1 my meals would be missing items, yet Medicare would still be charged. Today 7/25 my dinner was suppose to have a bowl of cooked vegetables but what came was a bowl of hopped lettuce without any dressing just plain. I have had numerous conversations about my meals but nothing is done. After reading the other reviews, I want to say that the nurses and aids that took care of me were AWESOME. The PT'S did a great job. I would recommend this place if it wasn't for the food service. If any of the administrators reads this my advice is find a new food service
