Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy department and staff are top notch. The activities here are phenomenal- lots of things to do. Most of all- the clinical staff are very professional and knowledgeable.”
“The floors of the rooms are very sticky. I am told this has been an issue for a while. My whole families shoes stuck to the floor and it made squeaking noises every time we walked.”
“The staff seems more willing to push the welfare of the patient on extended family than take good care of the patient they have been hired and trusted to take care of themselves.......ITS THEIR JOB!”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has recurring issues across multiple care areas, with medication management appearing as a deficiency on three separate surveys and infection control problems identified twice. The most concerning patterns involve quality of care delivery, food safety, and resident assessment practices, with one recent complaint filed by a family regarding inadequate treatment and care. While all identified deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated violations in medication management and the persistence of various care quality issues across surveys from 2021 to 2024 suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
