Ronald Wood
St Monica has a warm and inviting atmosphere, the facility is large, but it feels small and intimate. The Nursing staff works closely together, and the administration is not only involved they care. In a time where big corporate healthcare is the norm. St Monica’s still feels like a neighborhood staple rather than a chain operation, and that is not only rare it’s refreshing!
