Rude and unprofessional staff. Nurses do not have patience with the elderly and mistreat them. My father is a 88 y.o. And can not walk, due to lack of constant monitoring, he was not taken to the bathroom on time. When the nurse finally arrive to the room, instead of having some type of understanding and sympathy, she hammocked my dad’s legs in frustration. Mind you, my dad is there due a fracture on his legs. Staff was completely unresponsive and unprofessional!

My 83-year-old father has been a resident here, and overall we’ve had a positive experience. The staff is generally kind, patient, and attentive, and they treat him with respect. The facility is kept clean, and they make an effort to create a comfortable, friendly environment for the residents. I appreciate that the team communicates with me and keeps me updated on his care. Whenever I’ve had questions or concerns, they’ve been open to discussing them and making sure things are addressed. Thank you to the staff for taking care of my dad and doing your best each day. It gives our family peace of mind knowing he is being looked after.

Selecting an amount of stars indicating how well I enjoyed the visit isn’t fair at all. I cannot premise honest judgment of the center solely due to my singular visit. The location is a place of employment for a number women and men of our communities in need of their lines of employment - therefore I won’t badmouth anyone if they had happened to have had a bad day. The front desk person was polite when I visited. The elevators were functional and clean. The hallways were clean. The young lady who administers medication assisted with the person we are charged to care for was helpful. The room was clean. Their gown and sheets were clean. The bed and television were operational. The same young lady informed us that she would once more verify the persons condition in a short while after she had made her rounds. Other women charged with assisting the seniors at the center were busy doing just that. Not one of the many patients in the recreation areas seemed burdened by a lack of attention The location deserves some upgrades. The center’s amenities appear outdated. It would be nice to see these updates made. Newer, more mobile wheelchairs would be a nice touch. No doctoral/medicinal professional was observed. Though, the person we are charged to care for informed us they were receiving the medicine and rehab they were prescribed. Although the center needs better upgrades, we’re hoping for significant recovery bc of the care at the center. If an honest review is hoped for, the center helps citizens of our communities who go undervalued, overlooked, ignored, and disposed of. These citizens who are recovering at the center have loved-ones who count on the center for help. The staff persons at the center appear to be doing the absolute best with the resources available. For that reason, the staff deserves all the respect a positive review depicts.
