Horrible place. I have a friend who is there and unable to feed them self. For some insane reason the nurse took lunch tray back yesterday. Didn't feed him!! So, I asked why was his tray returned and he wasn't fed lunch. No reply, nurse took off and got his tray. She came back and fed him. Patient can't eat unless it's pureed. The nursing home has yet to talk with me and discuss what diagnosis is for patient. My friend is basically laying in bed dying!! I wouldn't take my dog to this nursing home...much less a person!🤮

I have really mixed emotions about this place. For the most part, I believe the employees care about the residents. I believe the employees are in turmoil over their management and the current nursing crisis. The employees (except for one) have been extremely helpful and nice.

I had bursitis of the hip and I -T band iliopsoas syndrome and pirformis syndrome all on the same side. Needless to say I was quite the mess. Depressed and hurting. I couldn’t make it up one flight of stairs without some serious pain. Two months later, those two ladies, that took care of me, Bell and Becky are the best of the best. First they helped my morale and then they got me up and moving and not hurting. They have me almost back to my old self and have taught me some things that I shouldn’t be doing like… lifting heavy things and walking up the stairs “toddlers!” Those ladies changed the trajectory of my life! May God bless you both! THANK YOU!
