This place is horrible. The smell alone is enough to make you nauseous. It is a reflection of the leadership of the facility. Do not take your family members there.

If I could give this place no stars I would. This facility neglected my disabled mom. Leaving her in a dirty diapers, not bringing her food, being mean to her if she had an accident. They didn’t want to give her baths and left her in the shower for 2 hours alone. It was so sad, she came home a few years ago and now has PTSD.

This place is under new management. When I first arrived I was absolutely unsure. Now I can say I'm treated like family and the facility is a great option. The new director is really working hard to make this place a top facility and I have nothing but respect for her and all the nurses and aids and staff I've had the pleasure to interact with. If your looking for somewhere that does treat you like family and works hard to make sure your happy, it's here. While it's still getting things together I have no doubt this facility will thrive under its new director and all the staffing. I'm very happy to call this place home. I've never had any issues that staff didn't help me resolve immediately and staff has gone out of there way to make sure I feel like I'm safe at home. I appreciate all the love and support from the staff and making the best of my current situation. It's definitely worth giving a honest try because at least here your voice is heard.
