My father was a resident here for almost 4 months and the team that tended to him were the best. Special thank you and two big thumbs up to Stephanie and Elisa! They are wonderful women who went above and beyond for me so I could communicate with my father daily and make sure he had everything that he wanted and needed. Bless the hearts of the staff who take care of our loved ones!

My mom stayed at this facility for a week recently. Rating is a 2.5. facility is very crowded facility. I give the staff a 3 with most staff caring but have to be prompted many times before she got what she requested. Was difficult to get a bed for her with hand rails when she first checked in. Not a quiet place to stay. Neighboring room had a person crying out frequently and loudly. Facility is dated and many of the furniture is old and broken. Facility rating 2. Don't recommend this place for a loved one. State has rated this place a 2 out of 5.

So far my aunt has been staying here for about a month after an accident which required physical and speech therapy. The social workers on site have been very helpful in working with my family and I for what's best for her. I have met a lot of staff that really care about their work. ❤️

This facility it is not and will not ever be a safe place for your love one. The current administrator is only looking to increase the financial earning for the owner of this facility. The administrator, only admits patients that have Medicare and private Insurance and refuses everyone else. The negligence of the staff and the nurses has already killed one resident. This place is run by an administrator who is nothing but a scam artist, and a director of nurses that has no idea what she is doing. Please be aware of this place and keep your love one safe!
