I would like to invite anyone that needs skilled nursing care to visit this facility, meet with the staff, take a tour, talk to other patients, have lunch at the facility and form your own opinion. I have often heard that no news travels like bad news and the same is true for negative reviews. I wanted to share a more positive perspective about this nursing facility. I have personally seen staff members who are compassionate about providing quality patient care and a therapy department that is absolutely great. You are always more than welcome to come inside. Staff would love to meet you.

I gave 1 extra star because most of the nurses here are very caring, and the PT people are wonderful. However, they do NOT have enough nursing aides working at ANY time. The only time the patients are able to get out of bed/leave room is the 45 mins they are with PT 5 days a week. Im not sure how they expect these patients to get better mobility when they are bed ridden 23 hrs a day. They never get their diapers changed in a timely manner. Sometimes up to 8 hours. And sometimes when PT comes in, THEY have to change the patients diaper, which cuts into their already very short time of physical therapy. HIRE MORE PEOPLE. Treat them well, and they will stay. It really is that simple.

I had a truly positive experience with this nursing home, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking quality care for a loved one. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt warm, welcoming, and well-maintained. The staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure residents are comfortable, respected, and treated with dignity. One of the things that stood out most was the attentiveness of the caregivers. They are not only professional and skilled, but also genuinely compassionate. Overall, this nursing home provides a safe, supportive, and caring environment. It gave our family peace of mind knowing our loved one was in such good hands.

My father was sent here after a week in the hospital. The staff was extremely supportive, friendly, and accommodating to my father’s needs. The facility isn’t a resort but it was exactly what my father needed for a short stay. The level of professionalism from the staff was appreciated. The location is also great.

We sent our father here after he was released from the hospital. The staff, especially Devin, were so kind and caring towards our dad. He wasn’t medically complex but definitely emotional from being in the hospital. The staff did a great job of meeting our dad where he was emotionally and supporting him. He was only there for a short time, but it was a good experience for him and our family.
