Esther Lewis
Very pretty and clean. Care is terrible. Medications not on time..Don't answer call burrows. Falls not reported to family. Not a good place to be.
Kelly Noll
The facility is poorly managed, and it is evident that the leadership does not prioritize the well-being of its residents. Daily care is consistently neglected, with residents often left without the necessary assistance and attention they deserve. This lack of care is unacceptable and has caused significant distress among the residents and their families. It is my strong belief that this facility should lose its license until substantial improvements are made. The current state of affairs is not only disheartening but also dangerous for those who rely on this facility for their daily needs. I urge potential residents and their families to look elsewhere for a more compassionate and well-managed environment.

This memory care unit is terrible. Moved my grandma out of here and she was doing so much better within 24 hours.
