I really like this facility. The food is actually very good. I’ve been to other facilities but this one is really the best! The staff are really nice and helpful. CQ

Certain staff dediicated and motivated. Others Tendency to gaslight people. Director of nursing frankly uncooperative. Repeated reminders required to obtain records. Deliberate misdirection. Mornings sometime no nursing coverage. Voicemail full

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ACTUALLY NEED HELP! Im leaving this horrible place today! Wooohoooo! I have to leave a review though so no one comes here, it’s awful. Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I have pretty bad mental health problems and saw the psychiatrist once when I first got here and haven’t seen him since. I’ve been here for a month and was begging because I was manic when I first got here and felt like slamming my head onto a wall and now I’m depressed so I don’t want to leave bed. They don’t care and don’t pay any attention. This one nurse said I look like I’m doing good I had no smile or anything I just wasn’t sobbing. They wouldn’t give me extra food and their portions are for a toddler. I’m 26 years old I need a little more food than that. It also took 2 weeks for them to give me a blanket I was using a coat that a resident gave me. The residents are super nice for the most part but staff needs an attitude check. Every time I talked to a CNA or nurse they were so rude that I would just regret even opening my mouth. Horrible service. Social work didn’t want to do anything and gave attitude when questions were asked. Super sad. Don’t come here.

Smells disgusting, there was a rat in the room my brother was staying in and most of the cnas and nurses are so rude and don’t do their job.
