I found this nursing center to be clean, very attentive to clients. I have seen many nursing homes that when you walk in there is a Smell that is undeniable. This one is not that way the staff is friendly and it looks very very clean.

Took my mother here for rehab from Vascular leg surgery. They did not take care of her at all as they said they would. Medications, getting her her personal items, pads and walker etc... I removed her in the first 24 hours. I would not recommend this facility at all in any situation.
