Key Review Excerpts

Call bells are never answered, very understaffed, I’ve never spoken with the social worker/case manager, PT has been terrible... she only had one shower over the course of a week.

Memory care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

The rooms ,other than the hospital beds, look like hotel rooms! Even the shared rooms are constructed as two separate areas. The staff were attentive and friendly and quickly responded to questions for help.

Rehab patient's spouse · 2022★★★★★

Residents are left in bed on weekends due to lack of staff. Food is a scoop of tuna or a sloppy Joe in a cardboard box.
