What this means for your family

This facility is a strong candidate if you value a warm, community-oriented atmosphere and a staff that excels at social engagement. However, because of a past report of significant care decline and a sudden admission reversal, you should specifically ask for references regarding recent nursing consistency and confirm the finality of your admission contract before paying deposits.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom's adjustment to living there went very smoothly. She has regained mobility, made new friends, and is becoming more engaged and at home there by the day.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

We were told that my dad was accepted, we paid the deposit, started moving in furniture and had plans to officially move him in in 3 days...and we were told that they were no longer going to accept him.

Prospective resident's family · 2023★★☆☆☆

I am helped with my meds, fed good meals, and lots of arts and crafts, even classes to improve myself, and round the clock nurses to take care of me.
