Key Review Excerpts

I sat down in a chair and found an entire bag of prescription meds including narcotics just sitting on a chair ,completely un attended for anyone to take!

Family member of short-term patient · 2019☆☆☆☆

The amount of family intervention, follow-up and advocating that was required for our mother to receive basic health care was exhausting.

Family member of post-surgery patient · 2023☆☆☆☆

The staff is patient and caring - from aides to nurses to specialists to doctors. The ability for 24 / 7 visitation has also been key to settling my dad into new circumstances.

This facility shows a pattern of recurring fire safety and emergency preparedness deficiencies across multiple surveys, with issues spanning fire alarm systems, sprinkler maintenance, and evacuation procedures. Care planning problems have also appeared repeatedly, with the facility struggling to develop complete resident care plans. While all violations have been corrected according to state records, the persistence of safety-related issues across surveys suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
