Key Review Excerpts

I was reluctant to send my dad here because of the ratings on the Web. But ratings aren't everything.. They have the biggest heart and they took care of my daddy very well

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

My mom was there for a 5 night respite stay but due to her condition she didn’t remember anything. But I called several times and left messages for the nurse or assistant to call me. I wanted to check on my mom. No call back. No reports.

Memory care family member · 2022★★☆☆☆

Overnight nurse (mean white woman) at this facility is very rude and has a fowl mouth. She shouldn’t be working around people. All she does is take smoke breaks.
