I think the place is wonderful, quiet, peaceful. The meals are great and the staff is supportive. I have my freedom and my piece of mind.

If I could go lower then one star I most definitely would. When I tell you this place was like hell I mean it. Never in my life have I seen both Men and Women on the same phone, the place was dirty and it smelt like God knows what. I would not recommend no one going here at alll.

If you need a nursing home or rehab facility to come to you definitely want to check this place out. Very nice and very clean. Very close to the beach very good staff and people. Everyone is friendly and the food is delicious. Everything is always taken care of. Food is brought to your bed and fast service laundry folded and ready for you the next day. Comfortable beds and tv in room and day room. Activities daily.

This facility is absolutely unacceptable. The staff is unprofessional and clearly dislikes their jobs, as evidenced by their rude phone demeanor. If they are that unhappy, perhaps they should consider leaving. I’ve had to inquire repeatedly about my patients, and each time, it seems to be an imposition for the nurses. They refuse to assist heavier clients, citing convenience as an issue. Instead of attending to their responsibilities, they prefer standing around gossiping. I witnessed one of the social services staff walking on a treadmill and refusing to even acknowledge me, let alone introduce herself. I’ve experienced poor facilities before, but this is, without a doubt, the worst I’ve encountered. It’s long overdue for someone to step in and address the disarray of this place.

When I came here the first I was talking to my Jesus and he told me it's sufficient for you. And then Admin Rachel she told me if I can be a veteran you can do the program. Some of the staff was good bad the ugly but it comes with the territory. I'm not leaving till I finish my program Admin the nurses the food service the security guards thank you you help me help myself . When I first came here I met and Rachel, warm considerate thoughtful helpful . Thank you Rachel!
