What this means for your family

Given the recurring reports of poor hygiene and facility maintenance, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to inspect the cleanliness of resident rooms and common areas. While some staff are praised for their dedication, the history of neglectful care makes it essential to maintain a very active presence in your loved one's daily life if you choose this facility.

Key Review Excerpts

I spent about 30-45 minutes there cleaning her mouth out because it was obvious that no one had done it since she got there.

Long-term resident's family · 2016☆☆☆☆

The rooms that the patients are residing in aren’t kept clean, some are very nasty. The state needs to do a sweep through this facility.

Local Guide · 2023☆☆☆☆

I see staff helping and treating the residents like family members (and a lot of them are). We have staff that go above and beyond to take care of our residents.

This facility shows recurring issues across multiple care areas, with nursing staffing problems and medication management deficiencies appearing in both 2021 and 2024 surveys despite corrections. The most frequent problems involve care planning and assessments, resident rights, and nursing services. While all 25 deficiencies across three surveys have correction dates, the persistence of staffing and pharmacy issues suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
