I have a friend who has been here for a while And I've been quite happy with the staff but especially nurse Cindy who is so kind to the patients and to the visitors. I have had a lot of medical problems and been admitted to hospitals in nursing homes quite a bit so when I get to a place like this where I feel comfortable and safe and people care it makes a big difference.

This was our first visit at this facility. Our friend commented that his bed was very comfortable, and the food was delicious. The employees we encountered were very friendly and helpful, and the facility was very attractive and clean.

My sister is there for an unknown illness that is affecting her blood pressure. Care is inconsistent: medication is delivered late and dosage is irregular, she contracted a bacterial infection while there and they aren't even giving her the antibiotics when scheduled. She needs help going into the bathroom and has to wait up to a half hour for someone to answer the call. The doctors seem to be caring and thorough but the nursing staff needs supervision.

Have my mom here and boy is it the nicest rehab centers she's ever been! Everyone who works there is nice and helpful. It's so clean and they outdid themselves with the Christmas decor!! Makes me happy that they give their patients an environment that helps them stay with the times, seasons, holidays while in there getting better.
