Key Review Excerpts
“Outstanding group of people that genuinely care about those entrusted to their care. Perfect, no. But they are committed to doing the right thing. Quick to resolve and concerns from the residents or family members.”
“A filthy and unsanitary place. The patient bathroom of the resident was vile on level with a filthy public toilet. Build up of improperly and incomplete floor cleaning of dirt and debris lines the baseboards and corners of the rooms.”
“Staff is excellent. Since coming under new ownership the building has made significant improvements on both maintenance and care.”
