What this means for your family
While the facility offers an engaging activities program and recent aesthetic improvements, the recurring reports of hygiene issues and slow response times are significant red flags. We strongly advise you to visit during off-hours or weekends to observe staffing levels and cleanliness firsthand, and to speak directly with the Director of Nursing about their protocols for call-light response and patient hygiene.

Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is well maintained, and creates an environment that feels safe and comforting. What stood out most was how attentive the staff is.”
“The place is filthy, poop filled adult pampers left in the shower at night causing a constant presence of flies and nats. The food is delivered late always could.”
“I couldn't step into my brothers room without being overwhelmed by the smell. While the staff seemed nice enough but it was difficult to reach anyone by phone to check on him.”
