The community is known for its 24-hour supervision and a wide menu of amenities, from chef-prepared meals and movie nights to fitness programs and resident-run activities.

They have mice and the big honchos don’t care about there employees some are rude and there are abusive nurses it is also filthy

Please DO NOT send loved ones to this facility unless you want your loved one to live in filth. Management is a joke and doesn’t care about the wellness of patients. It wreaks of urine on the floor and management is the least bit of concerned. Management/ Administration is also very unprofessional and is only there solely based on a paycheck and not the wellness of patients. Please think a few times before sending loved ones there. Administration behaves in a way that shows that she really doesn’t care about improving the wellbeing of the facility. 10/10 do not recommend.
Roberta Martel
There is lack of communication. Not enough people to give residents the attention they need. Not sure if they give the medication to the residents that they need. Need to have some kind of programs to help the residents.
