Key Review Excerpts

This place takes care of my aunt like she is family to them . Very curtious staff. A very special Thank you to my aunts favorite Activities Aide Lois for all of your help and support during these hard times.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

The facility was clean, very professional and heart-warming spirited staff, esp. Ms. Lisa. Also, the certified nursing assistant assigned to her. It warms my heart to know there are people who will & do treat you the way you wanted be treated; even w/extra loving care.

Long-term resident's friend · 2022★★★★★

My experience at this facility was extremely disappointing. The food was poor quality, the building had an unpleasant odor, and the beds looked more like ambulance gurneys than proper hospital or rehabilitation beds.
