After my dad's stroke, he stayed here for a while to recuperate and receive physical therapy. He recovered quite well, he was 93. They took very good care of this old veteran.

My in laws are here. The care and attention they get here is amazing. The staff are very professional and pleasant to talk to. They show they really care about the residents and the resident to staff ratio is incredible. The meals they serve the residents are restaurant quality. Thank you all for taking good care of them. The doctors, the directors and the local ER doctors and surgeons they have to see occasionally are stellar as well.

Director has a good heart. State support is awful. Many nurses talk to residents and families disrespectfully. Employees are often late. Many in family council are trying to help and support this facility .
