I currently have a family member residing here and when me and my family come to visit we always feel welcomed. The staff go above to make sure we are comfortable and they always accommodate our needs as guests! I recommend this home to anyone in need.

Called concerning a family member’s potential admissions and was treated horribly by an admission assistant telling me that’s not how it works. I was calling and had stated it was a referral from a sister facility. If they are this rude the phone, I can only imagine how they treat patients/residents.

I was there and it's not a good place. They still haven't released my SSi check and I've got thousands of dollars charged to my PayPal from there pay per view t we tevevision. I was locked in unable to leave for what I now I'm finding out was a lie . There wasn't any court holding there which was lie. I finally got free but they have refused to give me my checks and keep collecting them not to mention what I witness while there. All lies don't let anyone you love ever stay there. It's much more horrific with all the details
