They are horrible to residents!! They are not responsive, compassionate or caring. The few staff that care are over worked and under appreciated. Patients are afraid to say anything for fear of worse treatment. You need to install cameras and go see your loved one often and various times. Even then, care is spotty. I realize it is a hard job, but that is no reason to treat people poorly, not feed, not give correct medicine, not create a lively, loving environment for people that need it. They don't want to be there, but they are, so make it pleasant. They take advantage of the fact that there is only one other place to go. Overpriced for the value of care given. God bless anyone who has to have a loved one here. They really need to be investigated.

The new ADON is an absolute gem—he is always so helpful whenever we need anything. The nurses are wonderful as well and truly try their best to care for your loved ones.

I cannot speak to other people's experience here, I only know what our family experienced. Extreme neglect for my wonderful mother. We were terribly disappointed in the approach this facility took. My mother called, weeping and lamenting that she had been sitting in the same diaper for 12 hours without relief. She already had some sores at a previous visit, so this only exacerbated the problem. I wouldn't send a dog to this facility. We removed my mother and transferred her elsewhere as soon as we realized what was actually going on here.

Kathy and Jill where very helpful and knowledgeable. I brought my dad to tour the facility for possible placement for my mom. They were able to answer all our questions and really put my dad’s mind at ease. I love that they seem to be a tight knit staff and the facility was very clean. They all had the same goal to make sure my mom felt at home and comfortable. We really had a good experience meeting everyone.

I recently visited 2 of my friends at the facility after not being able to visit because of the pandemic. I was treated professionally and with courtesy. Both of my friends seemed happy and without complaint. These are difficult circumstances for all involved and the staff all appeared competent and caring. Good job! You have a hard job, from the bottom to the top. Thank you for caring for our dear older ones during this trying time in their lives.
