My mother stayed 1 month short-term; the staff and the workers, nurses, and PWC were very friendly and clean. My family comes to visit her on occasion; she always has a clean diaper and is well dressed. The special Fusco west wing on the 3rd floor has the best services. Thanks to all the staff there.
