Brickyard is a wonderful nursing home who truly cares about their residents. Brickyard has had many updates over the years and many positive staffing changes. You are greeted by many people throughout the building, and the atmosphere and quality of care has come a long way. I would recommend Brickyard for my loved ones to anyone!

Worst place if you are looking for any type of communication from staff, they don't answer phones, they don't return calls, they don't reply to emails. It impossible to reach anyone unless you physically go in and put them on the spot. Even the administration sux. Seriously about to contact state.
