What this means for your family
While many families report positive experiences with the staff and facility cleanliness, there is a recurring pattern of serious safety concerns, particularly regarding falls and dementia care.

Key Review Excerpts
“I’ve been trying to get my client out of here for over 5 days now, and have been blocked at every turn: I have never, EVER experienced this before!!!”
“My aunt fell on THEIR WATCH and instead of doing X-rays they left her in pain with a BROKEN PELVIS for hours and hours. She is over 80 and this Is how they treat her.”
“I’m very impressed with this facility now. My loved one has been there for a few years at this point, and management would never meet with me. They always told me that they were “too busy”. Yesterday, I met with the new administrator Shia... and I feel like the care and my complaints have already been resolved.”
