Key Review Excerpts
“Shyla in physical therapy is the best, she goes beyond the call of duty. She set up an cones for therapy and then she put me on the toilet and cleaned me up and put a pull up on. She always has a big smile on her face”
“They used to be great, but apparently now have gone down. They should be reported for elderly abuse. My grandfather was just transferred to them, and they have been highly rude to him and my grandmother. They DID NOT feed my grandfather his dinner”
“The staff has been courteous and attentive to my dad’s changing needs even during the covid-19 pandemic.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
