How They Respond to Reviews
The owner relies heavily on a repetitive, templated script for almost all positive reviews, often ignoring the specific details mentioned by the reviewer. While they attempt to personalize by adding names, the core message remains a copy-paste block of text.

Key Review Excerpts
“This facility has had major improvements! Historically this facility has had a bad rap but since Lynn, Lisa, Tamica and all the other wonderful people have arrived, everything has changed.”
“There is a complete lack of nutritional care at this “home” when it comes to their “menu service”….they serve lots of fried food, generally nothing but cream style salad dressing”
“The staff are attentive, caring, and understanding. This Home, has been an actual lifesaver for me and many other residents here.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Families filed multiple complaints about serious issues including abuse protection failures, resident rights violations, and care planning problems. The facility has persistent deficiencies across resident rights, safety protection from abuse/neglect, and medication management that appear repeatedly across recent surveys. While all violations show correction dates, the pattern of recurring problems in critical safety areas suggests ongoing quality concerns families should carefully evaluate.
