What's Been Said...
“My health is taken care of and I have the privileges here as at home. There is no nursing home smell – it is clean and the residents are not all sitting in a cluster with nothing to do. We have a variety of activities available all the time to participate in.”
Nadine S., resident at St. Mary Healthcare Center
