My mom has been a patient on the memory care unit floor (3) for a few years, and we have been pleased with the care she has received. We have found the staff very attentive to her needs, and she always looks taken care of and healthy when we visit. We understand the facility is older, but we've always found it clean and beautifully decorated and the staff very helpful.

Initially said we had a bed and then rescinded. As a result, 81 yr old wife had to drive to another county facility instead of being closer to home. They only seem to want people who require no effort. Avoid this place if you have other options.

I wish I could give 0 stars. My aunt is a patient in their so called "memory care" but the unit smells like feces, the unit is incredibly understaffed, and the management refuses to provide wipes, chux pads, and a FULL MEAL, or adequate ventilation-85 degrees on the unit one day. RIDICULOUS!! Not to mention there is some strange lady that keeps coming up trying to kiss everyone. Avoid this place at all costs.
