Key Review Excerpts
“I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there. It has to be the worst nursing home in the area. They have no activities for the residents. You are MADE to stay in your room like a prisoner.”
“The management and staff care deeply about the residents. When my Grandma lived there they took great care of her and I didn’t worry about how she was being cared for.”
“Very nice people I love how they treat the people here and how hard the workers work to ensure the saftey and well being of the residents and plus they have a coffee shop!!!”
