My mother almost died while in their care. She was discharged from the hospital and ok. Three days later she had deteriorated significantly and was barely conscious. She was severely dehydrated and no one seemed to notice. She had called one night to have herself changed and no one came for 8 hours. She was left in a chair for hours without her call light.<br><br>Horrible facility.

Staff is very friendly and very good to my mother. The facility is always clean and has a pleasant odor. Activities are available every day for those who want to join. Physical therapy staff is very patient and geared to individual needs. Hands down it is the best.
