I am writing this review to warn other families: please think twice before placing your loved one in this facility. My brother was a resident here, and what I discovered was deeply disturbing. He suffered from severe neglect, including painful bed sores, extreme weight loss, dehydration, and clear signs that his basic care needs were not being met. No family should ever have to see their loved one in that condition. What makes this even worse is the lack of urgency, accountability, and communication from staff. When I raised concerns, I did not receive clear answers or reassurance that proper care was being provided. This experience left me fearing for my brother’s safety and well-being. If you are considering this nursing home, I strongly encourage you to do thorough research, visit often, and ask hard questions. The care my brother received here was unacceptable, and families deserve better.

This Christmas party they just held was so lovely. Really brightened the days for the folks living here. It appears that good changes have been made within the facility to better improve quality of life of the residents

Rundown facility, not very clean, and care for my loved one was questionable. Boxes of supplies were in the entrance area and hallways. Medications were dropped and kicked under the bed, oxygen was also kicked under the bed, and asks for help were ignored (request for water, repositioning, etc.) The CNAs and nurses cared more about finding the right person to blame than remedying issues. I would not recommend this facility for any service.
