Somehow I’m gong to figure out how to give this place 100 stars . I have been taking my mom to pretty much every hospital visit surgery you name it since 2008 after my stepfather passed . Out of all those hospitals and nursing facilities I have never seen a place treat my mother so well . Before we could get mom out of the car she had five nurses looking her over and assisting her in every way they could. … everyone and I mean everyone who I had the honor of speaking to has been wonderful. Big shout out to Tristin . You and Pam from the landing saved my mom’s life. . Thank you so so much . This is truly a blessing . Thank you

When I first started there,everybody cared about the residents and the care that they were given, but over these past years it has very badly went down hill and so has the quality of care. It is anymore all about the green rather than the quality of care and the fact that they got rid of over half of their staff and they expect everyone else to pick up shifts when people call off and they have no one to cover them.

This place is great. The nurses take very good care of my grandmother. Any questions ( they know I have ALOT) lol they will make sure it's described n the most professional but understanding way. They interact with their clients very well, I've seen from outtings to movies to games. Makes my ❤️ happy. Very clean and the rooms are cozy for the clients. Friendly staff.
