The owner relies almost exclusively on a small set of repetitive, templated responses. Positive reviews receive an identical, verbatim paragraph, while negative reviews are met with standardized scripts that offer a phone call to the Administrator rather than addressing specific grievances.

Key Review Excerpts
“The rehab department is superb. Staff is caring. I had a concern and the Administrator, Lana handled it right away.”
“Our 96 year old mother was transferred to Advanced for 20 days of rehab to help regain her strength after a brief hospital stay. This relatively new facility is lovely, with none of that drab "grey" that has become so popular.”
“The new automated check-in is quick, and an added step, to keep our loved ones safe. Thank you!”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
