I visited this facility unannounced looking for placement for my father. The building was filthy and smelled stink of urine. I noticed a patient sitting in a wheelchair with urine dripping on the floor underneath. I spoke to the administrator Jan, she didn't make eye contact. Don't bring your love ones here. Do better!

I give this place a zero! The aids all stand in the hall on their phones not checking on the residents. One weekend we saw a lady sleeping at the desk. The nurses are not attentive. We found mom unresponsive and the aid said she was just sleeping. They finally called and ambulance and the next day she died. The place stinks, and they don't clean good at all. They should be shut down. Please don't take your loved one there.
