What this means for your family
While the facility has undergone significant cosmetic renovations and has a well-regarded admissions and therapy team, the recurring reports of medication errors and hygiene issues are critical red flags. We strongly advise families to conduct an unannounced visit and specifically observe the cleanliness of resident rooms and the speed of staff response to call lights before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts
“My dad was there for rehab and was maybe there 2 weeks and they almost killed him! For as long as he was there a dirty urinal from the patient before was still in the bathroom... ants everywhere in his room.”
“They give their patients other someone else’s pills and then they do nothing about it. They mistreat their patients they put my friend Eric in the hospital.”
“The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the residents’ comfort and well-being. The facility itself is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to feel like home rather than an institution.”
