This place is not fit at all for any human being. The staff are not pleasant, the same right when you walk in is discussing, and the atmosphere is very negative. I have a loved one there. And when I went to visit she was soiled very bad with pee and poop. The nurse said they changed her earlier that morning but hadn't changed her since. There were fruit flies everywhere. My loved one does not feel safe and kept crying to not let no man come near her! This place is a terrible for anyone! Why are they not being investigated! I hope they totally change owners that care and have integrity!

The facility is filthy and the staff is just as nasty. There were aids there that it seems like they went out of their way to be mean. I felt like I was going to catch something just standing in there. I’m sure that everyone is plenty over worked but that truly has nothing to do with me. The nurses were just as dismissive and unpleasant to be around. I have never been around such an inconsiderate staff with a stuck up attitude. It was almost as if the people there knew me and they had a preconceived beef with me the second I walked into the door. If people leaving bad reviews won’t shut that place down, I’m sure state will. Only send your family here if you don’t love them. Fr. Like I went to the bathroom to have some giggling old lady that worked there immediately start banging on the door for me to get out. Even the handy man was rude. And there one STNA old, black, with a matted pony tail who was truly The bane to my existence in my short stay there. Seriously I was bothering no one and this woman found a way to bother me. Crazy. Disgusting facility.

This place is a mess from top to bottom! If you’re looking for chaos, unhelpful management, and a daily surprise of who’s living in the building — this is the place for you! The admission director’s door is always shut (must be exhausting doing nothing all day), and management’s best skill is ignoring problems until they explode. Staff is overworked & expected to handle situations that should never happen in a licensed facility. 10/10 would not recommend unless you enjoy stress and drama. If you value your sick family member, license or your sanity look elsewhere.
