What this means for your family

This facility rarely responds to reviews.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given the recent focus on staffing levels, could you walk me through your current process for monitoring and responding to resident call bells during peak hours?
  • 2I noticed that communication is a priority for your leadership team; what is the standard protocol for keeping family members updated on changes in a resident's medical status or medication management?
  • 3How does your team ensure that consistent, high-quality hygiene and personal care are maintained for every resident throughout the day?
  • 4I see that your physical therapy team is highly regarded; how do you integrate their rehabilitation programs into the daily routines of residents who aren't in active therapy sessions?
  • 5With your administrative team being noted for their responsiveness, what is the best way for families to reach out if they have questions regarding billing or care plans?
  • 6Since you have a smaller capacity of 45 residents, what specific activities or social programs are in place to help residents build meaningful connections with one another?

Key Review Excerpts

The Nursing staff was great. Shannon my main nurse was as good as they get. I can’t say enough good things about her or Trudy. The CNA’s were outstanding.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

My mothers health rapidly declined during her short stay here. No doctor checked on her and it took more than 24 hours for them to do labs on her after I requested.

Memory care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

I was left out a lot of loops here and there and the bills were not mailed to me until after she was discharged. Now we have bills to pay we were not expecting.
