Key Review Excerpts
“Call button response times are acceptable knowing that I may not be the only resident in need of attention. I require a two person assist The care givers are my hands and legs at times. With dignity and respect they tend to my personal needs.”
“My mother lived here for three+ years. Have there been some issues with staff as stated in some reviews? Yes, But it has been getting better and better over the three years. The current management is great and the nurses are awesome.”
“My husband is in memory care and they take such good care of him. Everyone is kind, understanding, and look out for his welfare. He is well cared for and that gives me peace.”

Key Findings
The facility has maintained substantial compliance with state regulations, though a 2023 inspection identified a safety concern regarding the use of unmonitored bedrails that posed an entrapment risk. Recent reports indicate the facility's license has been successfully renewed.
Jul 25, 2024RoutineCleanReport
No deficiencies found during this inspection.
Aug 2, 2023Routine
The facility failed to ensure an organized program for resident protection and supervision. Specifically, one resident had bedrails attached to their bedframe that were not documented in the resident's service plan, lacked specific staff training protocols, and had slats large enough to allow for potential limb entrapment/entanglement. Additionally, the facility lacked manufacturer guidelines for the proper installation and use of these devices.
