The managers allow people to smoke out by emergency exit with door open. And not 15feet from exit like law requires. Feeding stray cats. Cats are spraying and popping in walk ways. Other tenets have complained about the smoking in unapproved areas and nothing is being done about it.

Went to visit a relative of mine. Called prior my visit because I was worried with all these previous reviews. When I got there, I was basically worried for nothing. All the residents looked happy and at home. My Grams was bathed and prepped prior to my arrival. The nurses were kind and sweet! Amazing staff! Thank you for the care you provide!

Poor ownership. Should be shut down immediately.

The parking lot is adequate for the size of the place. There is a bit of a distance from the parking lot to the front door. However, there is a covered walkway. There is a well kept small sitting area by the front doors. Upon entering it seems to be a bit isolated before you are greeted by staff. First impressions, the foyer is clean, the floors are shiny and deodorizers fill the air. It is an older building in need of an update. The private rooms are adequate with a window view. Friendly staff.
