Would never place my grandma here again. The care was bad and administration thinks they can do no wrong.

They take wonderful care of my loved one! She is very happy there! The facility is clean, inviting, large, properly staffed, and the director is lovely and really cares about the residents there! The nurse’s and CNA’s are always very nice and professional, they are amazing! I moved my loved one out of the old run down not nice nursing home into this one, and am so glad that I did because they do a way better job here! This is how all nursing homes should be run, also good job to the management for doing a great job of running this facility and picking out such great and amazing staff! (and for not understaffing like so many nursing homes around here do!)
