My Great Grandpa lived here for a few weeks before he passed away, he received great care

I was very unhappy with the care my mother received during her rehabilitation. She was often in distress and unhappy which made recovering from her injury even more of a strain than it was. I’d highly suggest looking into other options if you have the option.

My mother was here for about 2 months. We moved her because of her bad care. In just 2 months they lost half of her clothes. She was always dirty, sitting in incontinent pants. She was always so thirsty … because the only time she was given liquids was at her meals. Even then… she didn’t get good care. They don’t bathe residents they just change their clothes. I would not recommend this place!
