Some staff don't care about people or their job. They do what they want, when they want to. You pull up to this place and you will know that it's a 3 or 3.5 out of a possible 10. Don't leave your loved ones here.

Compassionate staff who take care of my mom are so kind. They make sure she gets the things that she likes, such as her favorite snacks, movies, and activities. Cindy, the nurse, takes time to explain to me what is going on with mom and is easy to work with.
