What this means for your family
The facility is physically impressive and offers a clean, comfortable environment for recovery. However, given the recurring reports of slow response times and understaffing, we strongly advise families to observe the floor during a weekend or evening visit and ask management specifically about their nurse-to-patient ratios during those shifts.

While many families report excellent experiences with the nursing and therapy staff, there is a recurring pattern of concern regarding understaffing, particularly during off-hours, which can lead to significant delays in call-light response times.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has significant recurring issues with families filing complaints leading to federal citations for serious problems including inadequate emergency response, abuse reporting failures, and wound care deficiencies. The most persistent problems span emergency preparedness, fire safety systems, and resident care planning, with pressure ulcer care cited multiple times across different surveys. While all violations show correction dates, the pattern of repeated deficiencies in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration.
