“When he was sent back to the hospital, we received his bottled medications with 2 bottles missing. His seizure medication and his xanax. When we called to ask, they abruptly stated 'oh no we gave them back' .”
“When I called them to get answers they hung up on me and when I tried calling back they would not pick up the phone and get back to me.”

The facility consistently struggles with staff training, infection control, and care planning, with issues persisting across all four surveys from 2023 to 2025. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the recurring patterns in critical care areas suggest systemic problems that families should carefully consider before visiting.
