I must have been lucky to arrive before the room became full. I came at the right time. The quality of care is very good, for they paid attention to me and took care of my needs including health care items and the prescriptions (I did not have to go to Walgreens to pick up my Rx). Although their furniture appear to be old (from the 80's), it was clean and sterile; it didn't bother me at all. Staff friendliness is 5 star, they were all very nice and accommodating. I would def. recommend you to visit ONLY if you came at the right time - otherwise I have heard that the wait time is a long time if the room is full.
