Anytime I have been there the nurses and aids have been so friendly and caring and it's hard to keep everyone happy with so many people with different problems I have ate there with my daughter and the food was good and yes dealing with a old building doesn't help

This is the worst nursing home I have ever been to. No air-conditioning, dirty floors, the sheets and bedspread had huge holes in them. Dark and dingy in the rooms. Our friend who was there said you couldn't even tell what the food was he had to eat. Wait for ever to get help to use the restroom,so he went by himself. The state really needs to look into the well being of these poor people in there care. You should be ashamed who ever owns this. Very very sad!!!

My Dad recovered for 2.5 weeks there. Felt like family, food was good, staff was caring and friendly. The building is 68 years old, but after awhile, it is homey. It could definitely use some freshening up. Being from the area, it was great to meet old neighbors who worked or lived there. Overall, we had a good experience there.
