Key Review Excerpts

The Director seems to dislike when anyone who comes in “her building” asking valid questions about a patient. She should try popping up in her building around shift change and take note to the fact everyone clocks in and goes on break or sits around and chats (after huddle)!!!

Family member · 2025★★☆☆☆

Great staff, who are willing to assist. The building is maintained well, but is older.

Resident/Family member · 2023★★★★

This place is a dump they would let the grass in the smoking area grow until it would be past my mother's knees I guess that's why snakes would get in the building. The electric recepticle didn't have a plate on it and the majority of staff was useless...
