Stayed there in May 2026. I’ve seen such neglect and abuse in my life. The nurse station came to aid you, when they felt like it. The verbal abuse was disrespectful and uncaring. The night shift is the worse, they be at the desk, left your call button just ring. Not coming to your help. One med nurse, always verbally nasty. Anytime after 12 midnight the NA’s would be sleep and angry that you woke them. My injury was severe and the nurse snatched me out the bed one morning without any care for the pain I was experiencing. GOD knows, I pray to not ever go back.

are incredibly unprofessional. The floor nurse and the CNA assigned to my care are uncooperative, hostile, and act like helping patients is a massive burden. Having people with this kind of terrible attitude in charge of patient care is a safety risk. Avoid this place if you want respectful or safe treatment."

The center is rundown and care is mediocre at best. Took husband out of there after 48hours. The patient's room was scarcely furnished. Not even a chair for visitors.
