What this means for your family
The intergenerational connection between the daycare and senior residents is a unique and highly praised strength of this facility. However, due to a very serious report of a medication error, families must prioritize asking about their specific medication administration protocols and oversight during nursing shifts.

Key Review Excerpts
“I did hip repair rehab for 1 month in August 2020. Isolation but the entire staff was amazing! Made lifelong friends! The staff in kitchen made special requests happen. Nursing was excellent and the social worker, Brion Shaw, went out of his way to help me.”
“Love the daily inter-generational interactions with the daycare children and residents. Very skilled caregivers and pleasant environment.”
“This place gave my mom the wrong medicine for 2 weeks and I caught her overdose and called 911 and saved her life. I will never take her here again. Very bad place to go. Avoid this place at all costs!”
