My sister was sent to Atlantic Shores nursing & rehab to recover after her leg bone breaking from cancer. Director of nursing Charlene Lawrence-Rice & unit manager Faith Douglas-Mighty went above & beyond to help my sister! Not only were they professional & helpful, they were kind & patient when removing staples from her surgery. My sister was scared & in pain but they were sooo patient & gave her breaks to calm herself down. They also followed up & made sure she was ok & that her wound healed properly. They really cared about my sister & it showed. Many of her nurses Roger, Liz, Wanda, & CNA Curt were also wonderful! They made a bad situation so much better. They gave her wonderful care! Director of Admissions Sabrina Creasy was able to get her a private room which we really appreciated! Admissions Coordinator Francis Clarke gave me my orginal tour & was helpful to me several times. Front desk clerk Maryann Gaeta was also very friendly, kind & helpful! I appreciate everything everyone did to help my sister recover! Yeah! She's coming home tomorrow! Thank God & all the wonderful people who helped her!

My father came here after a fall and serious illness. It's a stressfull time for everyone and like most people we were scared. Everyone at Atlantic Shores greeted us all with welcoming arms. They are open and give updates and information without hesitation. You may have to wait a little bit because they are busy. You will be helped. The Nursing and CNA staff are great. Too many to mention but I made a connection with RN Nicola. She is an amazing person and awesome nurse. The.facility is kept very clean. AC has many activities and live music events. There is always something to join in on including arts and crafts. They make you feel at home. We even had a water ice truck stop in one day. The physical therapy he received was top notch. Shelly and Jessica got my dad's strength taught him how to be more self sufficient while he continues to heal. Their skill, kindness and training are much appreciated. I just wanted to thank everyone there from the front door all the way around. Thank you!
