Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is warm, compassionate, patient, dedicated and competent. They treat my husband like a king. It doesn't smell like a care center. It's clean and you can be rest assured your loved one is bathed and clean changes of clothes regularly.”
“The food is terrible. No flavor and mushy. They go threw your personal belongings all the time. It takes forever to get a person to come to room. Had to go to the bathroom, waited 45 to 60 minutes.”
“On Feb 1st 2026, my grandparents were served white rice, mashed potatoes and gravy and THATS IT for dinner. They shouldn’t need to keep backup food in their rooms because you aren’t doing your jobs.”
