Jessica is amazing, Karla has a heart of Gold. Daniel is the best nurse assistant hands down. The place was my home for 9 months and helped me recover and I was able to walk out. Thank you to the amazing staff.

My mother-in-law was there just shy of 7 yrs. Started in the front then last 3 1/2 yrs in memory care. Some staff through the years were great other not so much. I highly recommend putting a camera in the room, even if your loved one has their mind about them. I found so much neglect, from not feeding her, to not checking on her for hours and she was hanging out the bed. I could write a book on the horrible things we saw through the years. When she was dying we went in to see her and staff knew to keep checking on her. Our camera showed the 11-7 staff never went in for 3 hours and when they finally did she was gone. They are understaffed for 2nd and 3rd shift. The Opal company is horrible, all they want is the money. Can't stress enough no matter where you put your loved on get a camera and monitor it daily.
