I do not recommend this facility. My mother's experience was not pleasant. Food was horrible. CNA WAS Exelent during day shift. Night shift was not acceptable. As far as therapy we never knew when she took it..no schedule was ever posted..there are many things that should be ask before you admit your family members. I do believe patients are kept highly medicated. Don't take my word fully check for yourself. Visit during meals. Activities etc before you admit a family member

My mom was here for rehabilitation only after knee surgery she was here for more than two weeks and they never got her up walking when I went to see her she was incoherent, unresponsive, and moaning and pain She was then finally transferred to the hospital. She is an ICU and in septic shock. I still don’t know if she’ll be OK and the Nursing Home has yet to say a single word to me about it Do not take your family member to this place

They are awful about giving the mail in a timely fashion. They don't seem to care about that at all. It breaks my heart. Everything and everyone else are great, which I'm thankful for.
