The administration is a joke. No one take accountability. The management is like a high-school click, it's a joke. I would not recommend to anyone until there is a administration change.

Visited a friend in who is a current guest. Good care givers and the home is cleaned regularly. One of the best environments I've ever seen.

Great place! Staff is so friendly and the atmosphere there is more relaxing and homey. They have activities every day, 3 x's a day. Food is great and they really encourage their clients to eat and participate. Big facility and it's not a hospital atmosphere. Clients are allowed to set their rooms up the way they want. Staff takes the time to talk to their clients numerous times a day. Top notch!

My dad is in this Care Center. They seem to be understaffed and that may be why daddy hasn't been walking. Now the muscles in his legs have atrophied so he can't walk. The food is below average and often daddy can't chew it. That being said, what staff there is, they are attentive. The Care Center smells clean almost all of the time. They have a couple of nice outdoor areas and beautiful birds.
