Maureen Bouffard

So thankful & grateful for the care they are giving our mother!

Jana Whitfield

If I could give a minus rating I would. The reviews have to be written by employees. This was the worst place-they cover up the smells with air freshness in the halls - my friend was there for 2 weeks-no therapy and no bath! That place is digusting and that is a compliment! Furthermore, we moved my husband out June 1, 2025 and he had to pay for the whole month of June! That's how bad this place is-willing to pay just to get out-$10,000 for one day out of the month-shame on you-looking into reporting to state agency

Pam Smith

Mothers ring stolen after she died and before she was transported out of her room, reported theft to Director and did a police report. Insurance paid. Now just heard my aunt in the memory care wing who just died is missing her diamond ring. No report filed yet. Moral to this story, let your Moms enjoy their blings and don’t expect them to be on their fingers when they pass.
