Key Review Excerpts

The first day he was there I went to visit him he was hanging out of the bed ( mind you he was unable to walk) his meds that he needed had not been given and was not ordered, and no oxygen

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

My loved one has been here for a few months. I have no complaints, clean and nicely kept facility. The staff has truly cared for my loved one and have been very helpful. If any issue arises they handle it quickly and efficiently.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★

The facility is severely understaffed, and only 2-3 nurses or staff members genuinely care for their patients.

Families have filed multiple complaints about serious care issues at this facility, including resident neglect and abuse in late 2024. Recurring deficiencies span quality of life care, medication management, and fire safety systems. While all violations show correction dates, the pattern of repeated complaints about fundamental care issues—including wound care, daily living assistance, and safety hazards—suggests ongoing quality concerns that warrant careful consideration during any visit.
