My mom has been at this nursing home for 2 years and I really don’t have any complaints. The staff has showed her lots of love, kindness and we truly appreciate y’all. A big shout out to Ms Angela and Ms Jeanne for taking good care of her.

My dad was here for rehab and had such wonderful care. Staff was very caring and worked with him to improve so he could come home safely. His health and outlook improved so much. The therapist were great, Nurses were great, CNA super, Food very good. The Director has everything running smoothly. Any questions were answered fully. Clean and Friendly. Would recommend to anyone. My Dad said if he ever needs to go back, that is where he is going, no doubt.

We were given very few choices and really thought we were making the correct one. We were so wrong. My husband fell and crushed his spinal cord. He needed intensive rehab and the administration knew this when accepting him. Now after 6 weeks I’m told no more rehab. All therapy will now be done by the CNA’s. The only thing they are doing for him is wound care. He was only getting 30 minutes some days for his legs because they stopped working on his arms a couple of weeks ago. There aren’t enough CnA’s to go around the regular patients so my husband needing everything done for him is getting shut out. This is not the care I was told he would get. I have a lot more comments about this place but at this time my husband is still there and I don’t want him to suffer any more than he is at present time.

Go by as often as you can. Make sure you ask questions and be a advocate for your family! The therapy dept was good but some of the nurses from the floor nurses to the DON did not care. I understand the stress of the job but this is still someone loved one. I’m so glad my mom was proactive or our situation could have been a lot worse.

We have had a bad experience with my Mother on hospice. Most were kind and compassionate but there was one weekend nurse that has to be the ultimate in rudeness. We have a mother dying and it is unbelievable the rudeness of this one nurse Nurses are supposed to be considerate She basically was in room with no care other than medication hospice had assigned So be careful who you let take care of your loved Ones
