Key Review Excerpts
“Office/social-services staff have regularly reached out to me when needed for various things over that time (I have healthcare POA for my friend). Nursing staff are friendly and approachable when I visit (couple times a month).”
“My father has been in 3 facilities in the last 3 years. This is by far the best run one I have experienced. Juli Powers is the best! She's on top of everything. She actually returns your emails and calls.”
“Unable to get a hold of a loved one staying here. Staff almost never answers the phone and I never receive call backs. Very concerning.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
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.
