Joe spent an hour on his day off speaking to me regarding their facility and the care they could provide to my mom in her condition. He even prepared a room for her that day so we could get her released out of the hospital the very next day

This facility has a concerning pattern of recurring issues, particularly with treatment and care planning, pressure ulcer care, and fire safety systems that have persisted across multiple surveys from 2019 to 2025. Recent complaints led to citations for accident prevention and medication errors, indicating families have filed reports about care quality.
