Key Review Excerpts

The P.T. I do have to say was wonderful along with the social worker.

Long-term resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

My father was at this nursing home and this place is unsanitary and smells horrible and the staff are not friendly and when we try to talk to the staff they don’t answer us and nobody’s answering the phone

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

The rehab team is a great rehab therapy and really care about the patients. The facility is very accommodating to everyone and social workers really try hard to help everyone as well above and beyond their scope of duties.

This facility has a concerning pattern of deficiencies with families filing seven complaints leading to citations. Most problematic areas include repeated violations around resident rights (safe, clean environment), medication management errors, and environmental safety issues like fire safety and pest control.
