Key Review Excerpts

The activity coordinator is especially sweet. She goes out of her way to ensure the residents always have a craft, karaoke, games to be doing.

Visitor · 2026★★★★★

There are some workers there that actually care and do their job to take care of the residents there but one person can't do it all it takes a team.

Family member · 2022★★★☆☆

They would not have told us if we weren’t coming. She was covered in feces, had not been bathed, and her teeth hadn’t been brushed in over a week.

8deficiencies
Near state avg (12.0)

This facility shows a concerning pattern of recurring deficiencies across multiple care areas over three surveys, with no complaint-triggered issues. The most frequent problems involve medication management (including high error rates), care planning and resident assessments, and fire safety systems. While all violations have correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across surveys - particularly medication errors, care planning deficiencies, and safety system problems - suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should investigate during visits.
