Key Review Excerpts

The facility itself is not impressive because it's old - but it's clean. From what I've witnessed, the staff take the care of their residents very seriously and treat them with respect.

Rehab family member · 2019★★★★

My mother is a bedridden TBI survivor. She wasn’t even there a week and ended up with sepsis... The facility is run down, the nurses clip their toes at the desk.

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