This place is gross and smells horrible too. My mom was unnecessarily stressed and anxious due to a nurse here while trying to recover. Traumatized and told “you’re on your own” in the middle of the night by the RN who was supposed to be taking care of her. When patients are in pain you do what is best for them instead of treating someone as an inconvenience when you signed on for this exact role. A proper and decent nurse tries to help their patient and takes all concerns seriously. If you can’t handle the job and be a decent human being then QUIT. Need some serious training and proper oversight here. Horrid place to be when vulnerable! Don’t let your loved ones come here. I feel so sorry for people that have nobody to advocate for them in places like this. Nurses busy? Not an excuse. Hire more nurses then. It’s gross how care centers make healthcare worse for employees and patients because they don’t want to spend more money. Unsafe and despicable, do better

I wish there was an ability to not give it ANY stars! Please please please don't take your loved ones here. It's absolutely gross, dirty, smells, etc. I delivered food to a man in his room and I nearly puked! Its smelled terrible and his room looked like it had been cleaned in months. No staff at the front desk so I had to wonder around looking for the room. I plan to report this location to state of Mn.

I will recommend this facility to loved ones. My grandfather was admitted there, and I was amazed on the care they provided. The staff there are compassionate, professional, and attentive to cares. The environment is also clean and welcoming. Will chose this facility over and over again.

Don't send family here! Horrible place, neglectful care. Horrible food, dirty facility!!! Never enough supplies. Had a family member here earlier this year. I would come on and find dried feces on the bed sheets and no showers for days.. Staff would tell my family they were too busy for showers. The residents in wheelchairs wood take over the building. Running in and out all hours in early morning... Drinking alcohol and smoking weed. Not a safe environment!!!? If you want your family to live, send them elsewhere, even when you complain to management or social worker. Nothing gets handled!!!!

Horrible place to be! They just don’t care or pay attention! I stayed over a week my experience was terrible! They are unable to maintain medications along with a lot of other issues! Gave me my sleep meds at 2 in the afternoon and tried to tell me I got them at 7 pm! Nope! As for the food this was breakfast one day! Little smokies and lemon cake! True story! Do not go here! Oh and to add they took my clothes to wash and I never got them back because they couldn’t find them! Also I never had my linen changed until the 6th and last night I was there!! Oh couldn’t tell who was who! One RN walk around with jeans t-shirt and baseball hat! The high reviews had to come from employees cause there’s no way anyone would give this place a good review! I could go on and on
