Yes, there needs to be a negative star! My mother is at this horrible place. Her clothing keeps disappearing. She has dementia, so has a hard time expressing herself. She needs to be seen by medical staff, but nobody will help her. This place should be shut down, considering all of these very negative and heartbreaking reviews!

I was very displeased it was a awful experience my relative had alcohol added to his care plan with out my knowledge and he has diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver and many other health problems it seemed like they had more department heads than caregivers I would not recommend this facility to any one when I expressed my concern some of the staffing where rude this is not the place to take your love one's founds where al so an issue

My daughter was here for two weeks. I was extremely pleased with the communication I received on her status daily. April and Lisa were very pleasant to work with. I was overwhelmed with decisions and appointments that had to be made. April very patiently guided me through this process and ensured that all appointments following discharge were made. I had one concern during my daughters stay there and it was addressed immediately when I brought it to their attention. The physical therapy she received there allowed her to come home earlier than expected. I was pleased that the physical therapist worked with her and pushed her which orchestrated her discharge. I would recommend this facility to in patient rehabilitation.

My grandma was in here for about 8 months. When I visited, it would take several times of requesting to be changed before people would come (over an hour at least once). She told me that her bottom hurt and I asked if it was from sitting too long or from sitting without being changed and she said it was the latter. They don't seem to wash their hands upon room entry. Walking through the halls, there were only a couple of hand sanitizers in the place (walked down the lengths of two halls to find one). This place needs looked into badly. I wouldn't put anyone else there by my own choice.

Recently spent 2 months here. During that time, the facility physician checked on me once. The PA came once after I asked to see her. I was given medication for the woman across the hall with a stomach infection, I had a bone infection. Blood tests meant to determine my medication were administered at the wrong time so it appeared my meds were too strong so the meds weren't administered daily. This could have killed me, the doctor said so. One of my prescriptions was dosed incorrectly. Should have been 1200 mg and they were giving me 2400 mg. With these type of errors, I was lucky to have a son who's a pharmacist who made sure I knew my rights as a person who could take care of myself. There were a few good nurses and aids but most were overworked or just didn't have time. I cannot strongly enough encourage you to look elsewhere for your care.
