Key Review Excerpts
“The skilled nursing care is terrible. People move into independent living with the promise of “life care”. The end of life care is deplorable due to patient neglect.”
“Worst place for rehab. They can’t even do basic pain management. They let my mom wait 2 days in severe post surgery pain without any pain meds, saying the meds aren’t here from pharmacy.”
“The building, resident’s rooms, theater and grounds are gorgeous. The dining room is equally as impressive. However it is greatly lacking in simple daily activities that keep residents mentally stimulated.”
