My mother was here for about 3 weeks in the spring of 2025. The facility is well-kept and she reported that the food was reasonably good. Most of the staff were quite friendly and helpful, although there were a few that were somewhat less friendly. But all of them behaved professionally and did what needed to be done to help her recover. The interactions we had with the account manager were also pleasant and informative. All in all, this facility is recommended.

This place is horrible. The only reason I gave one star is to write a review. In the words of my sister the staff was very unprofessional, lacked the knowledge of of caring for anyone, didn't do their jobs, and was extremely lazy. My dad would have died if it wasn't for the vigilance of my family. He was there for a short period of time (11 days) and became extremely ill. They didn't "attempt" to do their jobs unless we were present. My father got a bad extremely bad UTI due to their neglence and I would not recommend sending a dog here.

This nursing home is horrible and doesn’t even deserve one star! My dad was transferred to this facility after his surgery for skilled nursing/ physical therapy. He was only here for 11 days. My father left here on a stretcher in an altered state!!! The staff neglected him !! I have a list of things, but I will keep this review short as possible. The facility was not doing physical therapy with him; the facility was not clean. The staff lacked knowledge, they were lazy, very unprofessional. My dad's symptoms were noticeable, and the team did nothing!! He suffered for days, and they kept reassuring us that they were treating him; LIES!! I had to demand that they send my dad to a hospital! If my father had stayed at this facility, he probably wouldn’t be alive today. He ended up back at the hospital because of their negligence! Mind you, my family, and I was at this location daily! So I can imagine how they are treating those who do not have family that can see them every day. This location is the reason for my father’s regression. I wouldn’t recommend anyone sending their loved ones here!!!
