While I was a patient there Daisy would steal my Norco pills telling me that I didn’t need them because they were addictive. But the next shift would tell me that it was taken during her shift. They also insisted that I use lidocaine instead of Voltaren which works better

This facility is nasty. It's run down and smells like cigarettes. Most definitely take your loved ones elsewhere for recovery and rehabilitation.

I have had many acquaintances come here and I am impressed. Not one has anything bad to say about the facility. I've met many of their staff here and they have been very helpful. I highly recommend this place.

My mom has been here for years and I had no problem going to see her before pandemic. Know I can’t even call over the phone to check on her. They keep switching you to different until someone hangs up on you, and everything I try to make appointments to see my mom they change the rules without warning or notice. They are making it harder for people to see loved ones as if something else maybe going on at this facility. A closer look needs to be taken of this facility asap.

My sister was placed here about a year ago. It is the best place she has been in by far. The rooms are larger than most, the staff is wonderful and she has thrived under their care. Not to mention the fact that during COVID, they have kept their residents safe.
