What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and offers excellent therapy and activities, the recent trend of negative reviews regarding staffing levels and management is concerning. We strongly recommend that families conduct an unannounced visit during evening or weekend hours to observe staffing ratios and ask management specifically about their current turnover rates and protocols for resident safety.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff was very caring but could not respond to my electric call because management did not have extras if a worker forgot to leave hers behind…which meant no one came to assist. One instance I waited 2 hours.”
“My mom woke up in the middle of the night with a man sitting in a recliner next to her bed while she was sleeping. He was a patient there too! I will mention the worst food on the planet also!”
“The therapists are GREAT! They push you to improve without making you feel bad about your progress. The nurses and the aides are GREAT TOO! They took excellent care of me while I was there.”
