Key Review Excerpts

The staff including the physician were amazing and cared for her like she was their own. Everyone was responsive. Place is beautiful when you walk in.

Memory care family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

My mom was left in dirty sheets. Pressure spot they don’t bathe you, put clothes on or change your clothes. They are awful. The staff talks about the patients getting on their nerves

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

My dad was recently a patient in the brain care unit and came to get assessed and stabilized on new medications for his dementia after some episodes of extreme agitation. ... the staff there really knew what they [were doing].

Families have filed multiple complaints triggering numerous deficiencies at this facility, with recurring issues in resident rights, care planning, and medication management appearing across recent surveys. The facility shows a concerning pattern with 29 complaint-triggered deficiencies out of 90 total, including serious violations involving abuse reporting and resident dignity. While the facility has correction dates for all cited issues, the persistence of similar problems—particularly around honoring resident rights, developing proper care plans, and ensuring medication safety—across multiple years suggests ongoing systemic challenges that warrant careful consideration before placement.
