If I can give this place zero stars I would!! I am writing this review to express my serious concern and disappointment with the care my father received at this facility that almost cost him his life! I feel utmost worried for the people under their care that don’t have anyone advocating for them! My father recently experienced a life-threatening situation that I believe was not handled with the urgency or attention it clearly required. He was visibly unwell, yet staff repeatedly downplayed his condition, assuring me that he was “fine” and that the doctor had been notified. Despite these reassurances, his condition continued to worsen. And they still had the audacity to say I was exaggerating! If that was their loved one in that situation, they would feel the same way I would! I felt disrespected! What is especially troubling is that when I voiced my concerns, the charge nurse, Terese (or Teresa), dismissed me by stating that I was “just complaining” and exaggerating the situation. This was incredibly disheartening, especially given that my father was clearly not doing well. I felt disrespected because I was voicing my concern seeing my father in such an ill state..yet she had the audacity to tell me to take him elsewhere if I wasn’t happy..how can can you work in a health setting but have no regard to a family members concern for their loved one? The situation escalated to the point where my father was vomiting, and the contents were coming out of his tracheostomy, which was a critical and obvious red flag that should have prompted immediate medical intervention. However, the respiratory therapist failed to recognize or act on the severity of this situation claiming that he was “reproductive”. Fearing for his life, I made the decision to have my father sent to the hospital. I firmly believe that if I had not intervened, he could have died from asphyxiation of the vomit going back into his lungs. Upon, going to the hospital, he was in a much more severe and critical state than what they were stating at the nursing home. He had a kidney infection, another UTI, got pneumonia aspiration, his intestine was paralyzed which is why he was so bloated. Another concern that I had brought up to them when I noticed him looking a bit odd ( which again, they dismissed it and downplayed it saying he was fine as always). His trache was clogged with mucus and vomit. Yet prior to sending him to the hospital, the staff at the nursing home were stating that “he was fine” and I was just “exaggerating and complaining”. I firmly believe, that If I didn’t go, my father would have passed under their so called “care”! This experience has deeply shaken my trust in this facility’s ability to provide safe and competent care. I would not recommend this nursing home to others based on what my family has gone through. I hope this review is taken seriously and leads to meaningful changes so that no other family has to experience something like this.

I am deeply disturbed and extremely disappointed by the level of care my loved one received at this nursing facility. During his stay, he experienced what I believe to be clear neglect and failure to provide safe and appropriate medical care. He developed a kidney infection and suffered from ongoing, repeated urinary tract infections that were not properly prevented, monitored, or treated in a timely manner. Even more concerning, his tracheostomy was consistently filled with mucus and appeared to be inadequately cleaned and maintained. Proper airway management is a basic standard of care, and the failure to provide this placed his health and safety at serious risk. Despite repeatedly expressing concerns to staff, including the charge nurse, we were repeatedly told that “he’s fine,” when in reality his condition was deteriorating. This lack of assessment, communication, and intervention ultimately resulted in his hospitalization, where he was nearly in critical condition due to multiple infections and complications. While I understand healthcare staff often have heavy workloads, that does not excuse what appears to be negligence and a failure to meet fundamental patient care standards. Facilities have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure adequate supervision, infection prevention, and timely medical attention. In our experience, these responsibilities were not met. Families trust nursing homes to provide safe, competent care for their loved ones. Based on what we witnessed, I strongly urge others to carefully reconsider placement at this facility. No family should have to fear that their loved one’s health could be jeopardized due to lack of proper care and oversight.

Be mindful of your loved ones care. As in most locations like this there are good and bad experiences. Speak up when you see something you don't like and praise when it's good. Stay in the now.

My mom was transferred today and BIG shout out to Dexter Silva and Nurse Lady for making my 90 year old mom’s admission a very smooth one. Crossing my fingers that she will like it there. The staff were very attentive to my mother’s needs.

I was extremely pleased at first with such a kind staff and clean facility with a very attentive and caring administrator. Never considered after one year my dad would be begging to see sunlight outside, be yelled at by staff and executive staff and denied continuously for even the simplest thing of having 1 medical record be mailed to me. I was rudely refused and questioned if my integrity when I asked for one document. I was so embarrassed and left crying from their facility. I haven't seen my dad for 2 months now, no visiting or television offered yet.
