Terrible place!! Will never answer call light, leaves them in their own feces for hours, and never checks in on them. My grandma was there and they refused to take her to her out patient appointments. When I showed up she was not responsive and I had to argue with them to send her to the emergency room. They had, had her like that for 3days. Once she got to the hospital we found out she had a stoke and UTI. Not a good place at all.

I was there to visit a friend who was in the home for rehab. Easy check in. I only saw the lobby area where we had our visit time. The lobby was an open area with chairs placed around the sides of the walls; it was very clean. There was a large bird cage in one corner, a piano, and a TV on the wall.

Kind staff; always smiling and willing to help us when needed (during our visits to my sister in law). Respectful and a great bunch of folks who work there and are always busy with their work. Very charming lobby, it’s a great place to visit and watch TV and sing to the birds. Lunch room nice and roomy also. Dee

THIS IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR LOVED ONES!!! My Mom was Bullied, made fun of & mistreated by CNA’s. We made numerous complaints & nothing changed. When going to visit & eat lunch with my Mom I personally witnessed her & her roommates call-light on for over 40 minutes. Her roommate was blind and her lunch was put down on her tray with no instructions as to what was on the plate so I had to help her on multiple occasions. My Mom’s 1st roommate threw feces on the floor & verbally threatened to hurt my Mom physically. I heard the threats when speaking to her on the phone & demanded that the roommate be removed immediately. I was told by the director that “Usually the resident making the complaint has to move rooms but we will move the roommate this one time.” My Mom fell coming out of the bathroom and was left on the floor for over an hour with both her & her roommate screaming for help. My Mom complained her shoulder hurt very bad and her head hurt for days/ weeks after. My Mom was given a medication that was specifically on her medical chart as not being able to have. When I demanded she be taken to the ER the Dr there admitted my Mom and advised us that she had tore three ligaments in her shoulder & had a small brain bleed (which he thought was from the fall she had taken a month earlier). We immediately had her moved to a new facility. When the Charge nurse and Director called to speak to me- I was told by the charge nurse “Maybe if you would visit your Mom more often she wouldn’t have such bad anxiety.” She would not take any responsibility for the many complaints we had made about the mistreatment from CNA’s, the complaints the facility was not sending my Mom to be looked at after her fall or about Medication given to my Mom that should not have been. When going to get my Mom’s belongings two staff members said they were sad to see my Mom go but said “They treat your Mom so bad here. It’s good your moving her.” This facility does not like elderly that have full mental capacity and speak out against being mistreated. I cannot stress enough, if you love your elderly family member… DO NOT PLACE THEM HERE AT THIS HORRIBLE FACILITY! Didn’t want to give one star but there isn’t an option for 0 stars.
