Disgusting place to live and work. If you want to keep your RN license do not work here, staff to resident ratio is absurd and the aides are treated very badly. The LPNs does not assist with basic NURSING duties such as turns and lifts when patients there REQUIRE a two person assist. Management needs to be reviewed, they treat agency even worse. Stay far away from this facility , all carecores!
Ikira Williams
This is the dirtiest most unprofessional place I’ve ever been to as a cna. Their cnas man handle the residents, pulls on them, snatches them up when their “irritated” from dealing with them! I was being “trained” and was being left my whole shift, not being taught NOTHING about the residents or their needs! Every morning everyone would be SOAKED in urine the 3 days I did train up their backs. Management is unprofessional & I wouldn’t recommend working or putting a loved one there.

Do not send you family here if you love them food is served cold no Clean linen hallways cluttered not enough staff to care for your family.I would not send my cat or dog to live there. Equipment doesn’t work it’s a mess there and if you love your family I would stay far away from any carecore facility.
