Horrible place! My Mom was sent there after a weeks stay in the hospital because fluid on her legs. She has CHF, and COPD and isn't allowed extra salt. She was there two hours. The place is the worst place ever!!! The staff gave her dully salted food, and when I went home she rang the call bell for two hours....NO ONE CAME TO ASSIST HER. She was peed, and in pain and only needed a drink of water with Tylenol. Unbelievable. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES THERE...NOT EVEN YOUR DOG!

Our Mother ended up here after fracturing her hip. The staff was very good and worked hard to attend to everyone's needs. The therapists are very caring and worked daily through all the physical issues with getting back on her feet again. They try to give residents there a wide variety of food choices, keep the place clean, and offer activities to engage them to keep them from being bored and more social. We had to navigate her cost of care with the insurance and Medicare against making sure she was actually healed enough to go home and manage on her own. The Administrator Pritesh and his team was extremely helpful with all of this. He gave my family lots of support and guided us through this very confusing process. He really gave it all his effort and we couldn't be more appreciative of him and the staff there. Thank you all for helping our Mom while she was there and making her stay a good one.

I can’t say enough great things about this nursing home! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff is kind, attentive, and truly cares about the well-being of the residents. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, home-like atmosphere. Administrator Pritesh is exceptional—he goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly and that residents receive the highest level of care. His leadership and dedication are evident in every aspect of the facility. Our family is so grateful for the compassionate care our loved one receives here. If you’re looking for a place where your family member will be treated with dignity and respect, this is it! Highly recommend!
