The BNH is for real, not only does my wife receive first rate care and attention, they demonstrate true personal care and love for her well being.

Due to COVID family members weren't able to go inside, but the staff did everything in their power to keep us connected including daily calls, window visits, and transparent communication.

Rehab patient's family · 2020★★★★★

The DON, activity director, business office, nurses, and med aids have been there for 20 plus years which speaks volumes.

This facility has concerning patterns with multiple families filing complaints that led to citations for resident protection failures and inadequate treatment in recent years. The most recurring issues involve resident protection from abuse and neglect, food safety and nutrition services, and infection control problems. While most deficiencies show correction dates, one recent record-keeping violation from January 2024 remains without a correction plan, and the repeat complaints about basic resident safety suggest ongoing quality concerns that warrant careful consideration.
