Place is very old looking and desperately need upgrades. I am surprised at SRmedical for not putting money in this place. Shame on them.

My husband Tommy Robertson is a resident there. They are taking very good care of him. I appreciate all they do for him! Tommy is still there and is getting good care.

Horrible place! Gave my mother the wrong medication, thank goodness it was nothing that would interact with her own medications that she was also given. Yes they called, kudos to them! It should never ever have happened !! Need disciplinary action policies in place when training new employees ! People get your POA and wills in place - she doesn’t have one and is stuck in this less than facility!!!

My mother in law is in this facility. We went to visit on Christmas Day to visit and she reeked of feces. We only saw one CNA while we were there. I called back later, as she was upset when we left , to check with the nurses about bathing her. She said, I’ll check in a little bit. Unacceptable! People get your POA’s in place. Be prepared for when the time comes. My mother in law was not ready and without any savings this is the best she can afford. It’s so, so sad!! We filed reports in the past without ever being notified that it was checked into!
