Key Review Excerpts
“It stinks like pee. When I went into my friend's room I found it wasn't air conditioned, only the halls were, so she was suffering from the heat. And it was filthy in there, the trays from several meals piled up.”
“He got nothing but bed sores the staff wouldn’t clean him properly. Wound care was never done properly the staff was rude to him and ignored him and other residents call light.”
“The Social Worker Taylor is amazing. So helpful with anything we need done. She goes out of the way to help the patients!!”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
