Low on staff, grumpy untrained nurses aids.. They say the best in Lima Area..Sad if so..Residents are awesome, it's sad they don't get the care they deserve. I would personally not send any of my family to a nursing home but if I was I wouldn't pick this one...Be very aware when looking into placing a loved one at this facility.

I've had my mother there for 7 yrs. I also had both of my in-laws and a sister-in-law there for extended stays. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
