I was there about four months ago. Cause I had to Go. And luckily I could handle a lot of the pair myself even though I wasn’t supposed to eventually I got myself to the bathroom by myself which I wasn’t supposed to but after sitting an hour in the chair waiting I went to the bathroom. Sometimes I clean up my own bed because it wasn’t gonna get done and I did it myself so then but I needed help in the shower did you waited constantly for a shower I don’t know it was there was one shower one shower and they had I don’t know what I don’t know how many residents how did everybody get a shower or a bath every day I guarantee you not very many.<br>And now for the biggie<br>The food was absolutely atrocious. I should report them to the state for such bad food I couldn’t eat it I couldn’t eat it I’d take a bite and that’ll be it that would be it even the grilled cheese. How do you mess up grilled cheese or spaghetti how do you mess up spaghetti yes yes they did they messed it up so bad I don’t know what they did to that sauce criminally all you gotta do is pour it out of the jar but anyway that to me was the worst because you’ve got to be able to have something to enjoy when you’re laying there and you couldn’t eat the food it was just horrible there I’ve spoke to my peace

Would not recommend. Short staffed and full of agency. Nursing management is horrible specifically Long Term. Residents are not heard and are dissmised. Please look into different facility or if applicable home health.

I like how housekeeping is always cleaning and I see some great nurses and cnas. The rehab section is decorated nicely. Plenty of exercise rooms and pts. I wish the old owner didn’t sell but overall it’s still good. Food is pretty decent as well.

I would never ever send my dog here. Horrible upper management and they do not even care about their residents. Upper management refuses to help on the floor even thou they are short about 6 or more aides on the floor.
