I would highly recommend Shady Lane! My Mom was here for over a year, and the staff was highly skilled and caring.

Stay away! I would give this place negative stars if I could. When visiting my friend, she was laying in her own urine, who knows for how long. Then she was left sitting on the toilet for several minutes after her nurse decided to take a break and didn’t get coverage for the resident. My friend pulled the emergency switch and still nobody came until I said something. She doesn’t have teeth and they gave her food that she could not eat. I wouldn’t let this place watch my dog.
