Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was there for rehabilitation from a broken leg. We think the care and compassion were top notch except for 2 things: one day she did not get her pain meds for over an hour, leaving her in tears and unable to get anyone to come help her and the other thing is: she doesn’t eat pork. They kept serving her pork: sausage, ham several times, and she just couldn’t eat it for her protein!”
“My step father lives here and I am his guardian. I do not like this nursing home. On the website and on the paperwork they send you it looks professional but they don't deliver what they advertise. They set up meetings for me because it's required by law but then they don't show up or they don't return my phone calls.”
“My family member was transferred here from hospital for rehab care. Left her sitting on side of bed for an hour, didn’t bring her dinner, did not administer pain meds in the evening and didn’t give her daily medication in the morning.”
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.
