    Palms Care center is a wonderful place to work. We offer a clean, homelike environment and our CNAs work hard, are professional and truly care about our residents. Managements focus is the best quality of care for each resident. It’s always difficult to have to place a loved one in a SNF but if you do this is definitely one that should be considered.

    The DON is the best nurse that has ever existed! Always so kind and friendly towards every patient that she comes in contact with as well as all visitors. She is a hard working and dedicated individual and it directly correlates with all the staff and the facility as a whole! I would trust my life in the hands of anyone in this facility, especially the DON. She deserves a raise!
