As my mother is a resident there and had been there for 3-4 years.. The facility has been improved. Clean , she had better staff who are more professional. The security was the most impressive, including how visitors check in, Overall even her health mentally had improved.

I had the worst experience here. The cna that worked the 7-3 shift Alisa was the worst part of my time there. Physical Therapy Susan occupational therapy Joyce activities workers Shannon and Taylor were all exceptional Stephen and Princess were absolutely amazing Ivy all cnas were awesome. Eloise was amazing she does an awesome job with the residents she went above and beyond for me. I just wanted to let it be known that if you need a rehabilitation home be careful of who you get.
