Great place with a really caring staff. Everyone is kind, patient, and genuinely looks out for the residents. You can tell they truly care about what they do. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about this nursing home. Jeanette, Shoshana, Ari, and Nicole are truly wonderful and so caring. The social work and nursing teams are incredible and always go above and beyond. I knew several residents here personally and saw firsthand how much respect and kindness they received. I would absolutely recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for a warm and supportive place for their loved one.

DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVE ONES HERE. This place isn't a nursing home, it's an insane asylum. The staff has no control over the residence. The residence run that facility. The facility is dirty. My sister stayed there & was supposed to have physical therapy. All they did for her was put her in a room by herself & fed her cheese sandwiches. Also you have to provide the T.V. So you have been warned.

This place is trash. If you love your relative do not take them here for long term care or short term rehab. This place currently has an outbreak of scabies going on the floors abd enough isn’t being done. Secondly, the place smells and there’s rodents that’ll litterally come out and grew you at the elevator. No shift report for nurses or aides amongst other things. I wouldn’t take a dying dog to this facility.

A relative of mine was put here a month ago, he said he likes it here. So far this place looks like a very secure environment, and so far my relative seems happy and I'm satisfied with the look of the place. The staff is helpful and courteous, security is pleasant and helpful, business is good so I'd recommend this place for other people.
