What this means for your family
This facility is highly regarded for its rehabilitation therapy and engaging activities, making it a strong candidate for short-term recovery. However, families should be vigilant regarding basic care needs; we recommend visiting at different times of the day to observe staffing levels and asking management specifically about their protocols for call-bell response and incident reporting.

Key Review Excerpts
“The CNA's on the 7-3 shift during the week/end are HORRIBLE. It takes them 15-45 to answer a call bell. You could be dead by the time they come to see what your needs are.”
“My grandpa got bed sores within a few days of being there because they never showered or changed his diapers. Mind you he was there for 4 weeks. Imagine that. He was barely fed.”
“The therapy is a amazing but the food is horrible. Cna's are very caring but there are never enough of them. They are severely understaffed.”
