My husband is here.. and they have worked with me for his care. And made sure that he has a good roommate that works for him.. he is talking so much more than he used to!!!! He is walking more.. they keep his room clean.. and they all treat him great!

If I could give zero stars I would. This has got to be the WORST long term care facility that I have EVER seen! My brother is a resident there and trying to get any of the administrative staff to answer the phone or give me a straight answer about his finances and potential move is like pulling teeth. The facility doesn't even have a way to leave a message for anyone that you are trying to reach and I don't have time to be on hold for over 20 minutes...especially since, according to the director of Social Services, the business office manager was going to call me over a week ago. My brother is resorting to panhandling on the streets for money, which is absolutely ridiculous. They knew when he was admitted that he had a mental illness and still accepted him...its their responsibility to keep him safe, which they obviously are NOT doing. Please think twice before bringing a family member here.
