I recently visited a friend who is one of their residents. She said that she’s happy living here and that it feels as close to being at her own home as you can get. Her room and the common areas were clean and orderly. The staff was courteous, attentive, and eager to lend a helping hand. The other residents appeared healthy and happy as well. I was very pleased with my visit. Thanks for taking such amazing care of her!

We had our Dad in there for 3 1/2 months. In the beginning, everything seemed fine. But, as time went on, he wasn’t receiving the care he deserved. We blame this on lack of employees and lack of caring for the patients. Several times we were disappointed regarding the lack of care he was getting. They couldn’t even bring him the one thing he loved most, a cup of coffee, knowing he was totally blind and could not find his way into the dining area. It was very sad to see 2 employees working the day shift and trying to care for the patients , cook their meals and do the housekeeping. We honestly feel they need to focus on having the CNA’s care for the patients, hire cooks to prepare the meals, and housekeepers to do the cleaning. Thank God we had a family member over there everyday to help our Dad out. Other patients aren’t so lucky. The Family of William T Keele
