Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here are absolutely wonderful. My dad had his end of life care here, it couldn't have gone better. Robyn, the head nurse in the C2 unit should be nominated for sainthood - caring, compassionate, and responsible at every step.”
“My family member has had the absolute best of care. Amazing caring staff, respectful, kind and competent. I have had many family members in many facilities now that I am of a certain age and this one is too notch.”
“It is a hospice. Living here my father has a tiny area, restricted movement, smoking is restricted. Most come here and pass. So it's a hospice not a home. You will be told differently, patient care is substandard and caregivers come and go like water, my family had many.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

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.
