The place looks clean but really it has bugs everywhere (hallway walls, bathroom, the rooms, even the kitchen) my family member looked like he hasnt had a bath in over a week. The day I was visiting him, he didn’t get to the dining room for lunch until 1230 and the lady serving had an attitude and said they were finishing up but the sign on the door said lunch ended at 130. On the plus side the nursing staff I spoke to were really friendly and caring. The resident director is the sweetest lady

The staff here goes beyond the extra mile for the residents. The med aids works so hard to make sure that the patients are cared for and respected. My three favorites when I visit my family member are Adrianna, Carla, and Linda. Shout out to them for everything they do on a daily. The facility is always clean when I walk-in there. It’s a nice location.

Have a dear friend living at this facility. I visited her, and was quite impressed. The facility was very clean, and staff was very nice. They were actively interacting with patients, and making sure everyone received top quality care. It’s so nice to see that the staff goes the extra mile for patients. The Administrator Trina was very friendly, and from what I could see making sure all residents were taken care of. She asked my friend if she wanted a snack, went down to the kitchen and got it for her. I would highly recommend this facility.
