Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here are very caring. They are very respectful and kind.”
“The memory care coordinator, Chrystal, is highly trained in dementia care and one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. As soon as I met with her, I was completely convinced that this would be the perfect place for my mom.”
“My mom was transferred here a couple days after fracturing her hip from a fall and having surgery. It was a nightmare. We left against medical advice in a few days. They were out of pain meds and didn’t get her prescription filled.”

The most persistent issues involve infection control (cited four times across surveys), daily care assistance, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated problems in infection control and basic care standards suggests ongoing challenges with consistent quality management.
