My brother absolutely loves it there. The staff is very nice to him. They have several things to keep everyone interested. It looked very nice and clean to me did not have any odor. The food looks satisfactory to me. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a good place for their relative. Susan Rusk

My mom didn't get any supper served to her the day she was admitted. It was 7:30 pm when i stopped to see her. The nurse was very rude when I spoke with her about it. After this incident my mom had also said they'd just drop her tray off on her bedside table facing away from her. No help with moving her table in front of her or to remove coverings from dishes. My mom had cancer and needed to gain strength in order to possibly start chemo, very important that they served her food or helped her with her tray to access it instead of plopping it down and walking away! Another resident i know was also sitting in a recliner with what appeared to be chocolate drooled down his face.

I have a loved one there currently amd not only do they bed bugs, that have been spread throughout the building they now have scabies!!!!!! The recent change in leadership has made the building go down hill in my opinion, you feel the tension in the air as soon as you walk into the building. I am currently looking for different placement for my loved one.

This place was out dated and dark and dirty. The room window shade would covered up the air conditioner if you pulled it down. I moved the recliner in the room and found what looked like old bacon strips balled up!!! The bed mattress was hard as a rock and lumpy and the controls for raising or lowering the bed would still have the bed moving after you released the button. The call for help button was not working so my mom was without help all night long!!! Unacceptable!!! The Administrator said it was the maker of the call button fault! Take responsibility for your staff and out dated equipment. Never use this place!

Treats everyone who walks through the door like family. Food is amazing, fun activities are held daily and the new therapy room is built perfectly with brand new equipment. Therapy staff makes getting stronger fun and is willing to work with anyone in the community. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for long term care or rehab.
