What this means for your family

This facility is widely praised for its cleanliness and dedicated staff, making it a strong candidate for rehabilitation. However, because recent reports indicate significant delays in responding to call lights, we recommend asking management about their current staffing ratios and how they ensure timely assistance for residents needing help with personal care.

Key Review Excerpts

The activities director and assistant do an incredible job helping patients enjoy life from painting fingernails, to book clubs, painting classes and even tablets for games and staying connected to the world.

Family member · 2020★★★★★

The nurses, med techs and PT folks were attentive, kind and professional, and helped me to return home quickly. The cook listened to my special diet (pescatarian ) and made sure my food was nutritious.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

She says she pushes a button for service and it takes an hour for a response. She says she timed it. She needs assistance to use the restroom. Said she has fiddle in her pants due to having to wait so long.

One family filed a complaint about protection of residents' belongings in 2024. The facility has addressed problems ranging from emergency planning and infection control to nutrition safety and accident prevention, but the pattern of repeat violations in emergency preparedness and food handling suggests ongoing operational challenges.
