My loved one is comfortable there. He says they take good care of him. I couldn't ask for anything better than that. He tells me they have good food too.

Visiting nursing homes is not high on anyone’s list, and placing a loved one is hard for all involved. This facility was warm, clean, and well maintained. But the best review came from the patient I visited. For years he had pled with all “never put me in a nursing home!” But after a brief chat, with his wife by his side, he said, “I like this place! I go to the Cafe for coffee in the morning, and my friends bring me up to date on whats going on!” Friends, good food, and a clean comfortable environment. This is an answered prayer!

Do not bring your family here! My father was placed at the end of the hall and treated so poorly because of his skin color and being a past addict! They never cleaned his face, bathed him, fed him, or took proper care of him! They knew people were coming to see him and they still didn’t care for him. He smelled and they are just heartless here! He unfortunately passed away in their care. If you want your family members to THRIVE find somewhere else! You’ll thank me later! The nurses have a terrible attitude and the only person who cared was the sweet Social Worker! She deserves a raise!

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and truly want to help their residents have the best life possible. They communicate care of loved ones frequently. They have an automatic messaging system and can send me messages about care, testing, appointments or general info straight to my cell by calls and texts. Building is very clean and odor free. Great place & great people!
