What this means for your family

While some families appreciate the kindness of the individual staff members, there are persistent reports of understaffing and poor communication between shifts. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for specific staffing ratios during night shifts and clarifying the facility's policy and liability regarding the loss of personal items like dentures or glasses.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff that they do have though are kind, considerate, and they do their best to make my family feel welcome.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★

Communication between staff needs to improve because sometimes important information doesn't get passed on to who it should.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★

My aunt was there for a while, and they lost some of her things. That could be forgiven, however they lost some dentures, which were expensive to replace, and they didn't even help with that.

Families have filed complaints leading to serious deficiencies including resident abuse protection failures and inadequate staff training. The facility shows recurring problems with fire safety systems, care planning, and infection control across multiple years from 2021-2025. While all violations have correction dates, the pattern of repeated issues in critical safety areas and recent complaint-driven findings about abuse response suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration.
