What this means for your family

The facility is currently under new management, and recent reviews indicate a positive trend in cleanliness and responsiveness. However, given the serious historical reports of neglect and safety incidents, I strongly recommend that you visit unannounced and specifically ask how they prevent falls and ensure residents are checked on during off-hours.

Families should be aware that while many report attentive nursing and proactive communication, there are serious historical and recent reports of residents being left in unsanitary conditions or suffering from falls.

Key Review Excerpts

The entire staff was very caring and attentive to her needs as well as the needs of the family. Even when she scared (due to her confusion) the nurses talked to her and explained what they were doing to assure her she was safe.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

Anything that going on with my Mom the nurse will call me and let me know and alway keep me updated on our Mom.

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

New management has done really well. My granddaddy has been there almost a year and we have seen a huge change. The past couple of months when we go visit the smell and cleanliness has improved as well.

Well below state avg (3.4)

This facility shows a pattern of building safety and fire safety deficiencies that persist across multiple surveys, with recent violations in 2025 for smoke barriers and resident rights. The most recurring problem areas involve fire safety systems, resident rights and dignity, and care planning. While all deficiencies were reportedly corrected, the facility's ongoing struggles with basic safety infrastructure and a 2019 incident involving resident protection from abuse raise concerns about operational consistency.
