What this means for your family

Due to the lack of detailed, recent, or consistent feedback, it is difficult to assess the current quality of care at this facility. We strongly recommend scheduling an in-person tour and requesting a meeting with the nursing director to evaluate staff professionalism and care standards firsthand.

This facility shows significant recurring issues with abuse protection and dementia care, with multiple families filing complaints over the past three years. The most persistent problems involve protecting residents from abuse and neglect, providing appropriate dementia care, and maintaining adequate nursing staffing levels. While the facility has corrected each violation, the pattern of repeated deficiencies in critical safety areas—particularly the recent serious abuse protection violations in 2025—suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent quality care standards.
