Shady place to be caring for your loved ones. This nursing home thinks it’s ok to not give residents their medicine and allows the DON to cover it up by throwing the pills away so nobody gets in trouble. Sketchy management here.

The staff here are some of the best I've seen they care for the residents here as if they were their own family. The facility is run great and everyone here has the same mindset and that is to putting the residents first and making sure everyday is the best it can be for them. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for or in need of a nursing facility, it is one of the best.
