What this means for your family
This facility has shown signs of improvement under new ownership, particularly regarding facility aesthetics and the responsiveness of the admissions team. However, families should remain vigilant about resident hygiene and staffing ratios, as multiple reports of neglect and understaffing persist. We recommend conducting an unannounced visit to observe the environment firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts
“Any questions or concerns we had which were minimal, the director of nursing Jessica addressed immediately while maintaining professionalism and thoughtful care throughout.”
“Since the change of ownership they are finally doing something about the conditions by starting with some remodeling and reducing employee turnover.”
“The admissions team and process was so much better here than other facilities we have experienced. My mother is only 3 weeks in, but so far, the PT and OT have been really good and I find the administration very accessible and attentive to our needs.”
