What this means for your family
This facility offers strong rehabilitation therapy and a dedicated staff, making it a potential choice for short-term recovery.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapists here worked wonders and nursing staff was there for him every step of the way!”
“The staff in unit two were very good with my sister and met all the goals her care team set. Although slow to return calls. The building is another story, it is a mess! Mold in the bathrooms, torn flooring in the bathroom, big wires hanging out of the ceiling in the hall, filthy dirty window”
“She had to go to the hospital that day to get dialysis, and the hospital she went too, refused to release her to go back to Harmony Court due to their negligence, that put her life at risk.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has significant ongoing safety and care concerns, with multiple families filing complaint reports that have triggered 25 investigations. Persistent problems span fire safety systems (smoke barriers, sprinkler maintenance, alarm systems), medication management (error rates exceeding 5%, labeling issues), and abuse prevention (failure to protect residents and properly investigate incidents). While many violations are officially corrected, the recurring nature of safety system failures and medication errors across multiple years suggests systemic issues that families should carefully consider before visiting.
