Key Review Excerpts
“My Dad was at this facility in 2024 and was there to rehabilitate from many ailments from diabetes, he had 2 leg amputations and it was a rough recovery so they gave him great personal care for his wounds.”
“I was initially concerned by the low star rating, but my frequent visits revealed a different story. The facility, like many healthcare providers, appears to be facing staffing challenges, which can sometimes impact the environment. However, I was consistently impressed by the caring and dignified care my father received.”
“They have no compassion or understanding. No matter who you call they don't return call back. It's a med error waiting to happen with 4 people in a room.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
