What this means for your family

While the therapy department is frequently praised for its effectiveness, the facility has a persistent pattern of failing to respond to call lights and neglecting basic patient needs. If you choose this facility, it is highly recommended that you visit daily and remain physically present to advocate for your loved one's care, as communication from administration can be unreliable.

Key Review Excerpts

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the food. Apparently the food is good if you're able to ambulate to the dining room, but he couldn't. He did not get any choices in the food.

Rehab patient's spouse · 2024★★★★

My mom is at this facility. She has been there since 2010. I think as with any facility, they have their share of issues but I've found that the more you are there at various times of day and get to know the staff more, you will get better care.

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

Staff would leave meals on the table and leave the room, not asking if family could assist or if family member needed help; although they could not get out of bed or feed themselves.
