What this means for your family

This facility has seen significant investment in its therapy program and physical environment, which many families appreciate. However, because multiple reviewers have reported serious lapses in medication management and staff bedside manner, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and speaking directly with current residents' families to gauge the consistency of care.

Key Review Excerpts

The health care staff were respectful...very helpful...and we had total privacy. They understood our need for singing...humor...worshipping Jesus...laughter and our tears.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

The whole place has been transformed by Holly the administrator she always has a listening ear and willing to help and the place sparkles and is very friendly and welcoming.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

Some of the nurses struggle with bed side manner such a smile, kind tone leaving our parents in feces, not giving meds for hours. Some have been retaliatory and lack the ability to be human kind.
