I have been a witness to the care, attention and love the staff provides to their residents. There is a sense of community and it feels like home. Activities rocks and rolls and patients are able to go back home better than they arrived. Recommend this facility.

Terrible facility. I had to call the state on them because how horrible my mother treated. Two employees watched as my mother struggle to pull her pants up and watched her fall. They refused to help my mother to the bathroom. There were other things that happened as well. The state was there within 24 hours. They found that laws and rules were broken, multiple people were fired on the spot including management. And this was in 2024. I will say the physical therapist there were amazing. As soon as my mother was able to walk she got out of that place. Please check out these places out before putting a loved one in one. And if they only allow you to come during an appointment to check out the facility, don’t bother. Find one that you can just show up to without an appointment to see the facility.

I have been so pleased at the care Radiant gives their patients. From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted with a smile. EVERYONE is so kind & respectful. They are never to busy to speak with you. They truly want the best for the patient. If you are in the process of finding the “right” place for your loved one, I highly recommend you stop by & check it out. It’s very clean, no odor & the food is delicious. I can’t express how much it means to know your loved one is being loved on. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If I could give 10 stars I would! Everyone of the staff was very helpful and caring for my dad after his stroke. Everyday I visited I witnessed staff help their patients with eating meals, walking them around the facility, and taking them out for fresh air. Activities were held daily to keep everyone active. Daily phone calls to keep me updated or advise me on the next step of my dad's care. If you are looking for a place for a loved one this is your place.
