    Nothing but wonderful things about this place! My PT and OP therapists taught me alot. Food was good. Nursing staff was awesome. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It’s a well run facility not just for long term care.

    This is an extremely initial impression based only on my mom's five days at the facility. Although there are certainly no frills or fanciness, my mom is as happy as she could be. I have visited twice and called eight times in the five days. And every nurse I have spoken with (Andrea, June, Brenda, Kelsey, ...) has been wonderful. They have displayed a great amount of concern and empathy, and have been very patient with my many calls and questions. I have never felt rushed, even though I know nurses in general are stretched extremely thin, to say the least. It is nice to know my mom is surrounded by people that care about her.

    This is the kind of place that reminds you there are good people in healthcare. A wonderfully wholesome little facility. Such a kind staff and an amazingly understanding and committed management team. I can’t say thank you enough.

    I am going to a nursing home!?!" Well, it turned out to be a positive experience from a hip transplant and an ankle broken in 3 places. The rehab services were great. Physical Therapy got me up and moving, which was no easy task. Whenever I buzzed for help an aide was at my bedside in less than 3 minutes. The staff (nurses, aides, therapists and management) were very caring and responsive to my needs. If I had to go to rehab again, I would NOT hesitate to go to Birch. Did I mention the food....it needs some help. I am now walking all over the place, climbing ladders and driving; and it all began here. Many thanks for everything!

    My brother-in-law was a resident at this facility. The staff were caring and attentive to his needs. My husband and I were glad to know he did not need to move when he was taken on by hospice. The end-of-life care was supportive to my brother-in-law, our family and his friends.
