My MIL has been there for over a month and all the staff are compassionate and understanding. They provide her with excellent care and the tools to help her become more independent! As a Fellow health care worker, it puts me at ease knowing my MIL has the best care available to her.

My mother was there back in 2014. The nurses CNA PT and OT and faculty was very good to my mother. I had her in a nursing/rehab center prior to St Andres and they just left her to die. St Andres gave me back my mom before her passing Oct 2014 at home. Very please with St Andres. Just outdated but great staff
