Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses are amazing- it is so important for dementia patients to have consistent staff, and these nurses and aides really care for my mom and seem to enjoy and take pride in their job.”
“My father had to call his own ambulance for himself because he couldn't breathe and the nurses didn't bother to come assist him. Their call light wait time is up to an hour, and its a very unprofessional environment.”
“My mother in law stayed here and while she was there, they didn’t shower her, only once a week according to their policy. Staff left her in her room for at least 20+ minutes while needing serious assistance.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
