I was very disappointed in the way the staff treats family members, their very rude. Although I never met the social worker not returning phone calls or addressing concerns of family members is extremely unprofessional and disappointing. If you have any other choice as to where your family member ends up I'd definitely reconsider.

Place is very filthy and smells like vomit and urine. My friend is there and is left unattended for long lengths of time. We can NEVER get any answers just a run around. They stole her cell phone. How do you take an elderly person's cell phone. Very Ghetto. I wouldn't bring my loved one there. Maybe someone I didn't care for and I'm not sure about that. I would probably feel guilty.

A. Holly Patterson, which recently underwent management changes with a new administrator and nursing leadership team this year. The staff remain dedicated and deliver excellent care to the elderly residents. The facility is well-maintained and clean. The Dietary Department offers a wide variety a diverse meals catering to our multiracial elderly population. Additionally, the facility includes a ventilator unit, an onsite hemodialysis specialty unit, a wound care unit, and separate locked dementia units for females and males. Medical doctors are present daily, and respiratory therapist are available 24 hours a day to ensure comprehensive care.

I had an excellent experience with the Physical /Occupational Therapy Department. The therapists were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I saw significant improvement and feel much stronger and more confident. I highly recommend this department to anyone needing Physical therapy. The place is very clean also.
