My mother spent almost a month here in the Skilled Nursing section of The Sanctuary after a heart attack. Then later, when my father needed a skilled nursing facility after a stroke, we made sure to request The Sanctuary again since our previous experience was so good. The rooms are really nice with a microwave and refrigerator, there are pictures on the walls, and it is like a little mini apartment. Very cozy. The staff is very caring and wonderful to deal with and have patiently dealt with my many questions each time. Everyone we have dealt with so far - nurses, aids, PT's, OT's, dietitians, the Social Worker, Activity staff, even the cleaning staff - have been really nice.
Perhaps the previous review was poor in part because of patient confidentiality. I don't think they are allowed to say whether a certain person is there or not. But I'm not sure. But they definitely should not have hung up on someone. The visiting hours are rather short but if you have family there, those hours are not enforced. We can visit pretty much anytime within reason.
My experience with both parents there at different times has been really good and I highly recommend this facility.
I checked out several others and just don't feel that any others even come close to comparing.
