Key Review Excerpts

3 times there was no night nurse at all . I watched an employee go threw my roommates belongings after he got sent to the hospital . My meds were never ordered on time . I was without them for 2 days at one point.

Rehab patient · 2024☆☆☆☆

My poor nephew is at this dirty and filthy place, full of roaches, lice’s, smells disgusting, patients have to wait more than 3 hours for someone to come to clean these poor patients.

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

Bryant Sooy is the current administrator of this center. I am very pleased with his response to my requests for conferences to plan for my mother's increased level of care. Mr. Sooy listens attentively, expresses empathy in tone, language and manner and works diligently with staff for changes to take effect.
