What this means for your family

This facility is an exceptional choice for veterans, particularly for those needing rehabilitation or long-term memory care, due to its highly praised clinical staff and clean environment. While the facility has a history of excellence, families should feel confident in the current high standards of care, but may wish to ask about their current protocols for infectious disease management to address historical concerns.

“Families considering this facility can expect an exceptionally high standard of care, with many reviewers describing the staff as treating residents like family. The facility is frequently praised for its cleanliness, professional medical management, and robust rehabilitation and activity programs. While the vast majority of feedback is glowing, one critical review from 2021 raised severe concerns regarding COVID-19 protocols during the pandemic.”

2deficiencies

Well below state avg (7.6)

This facility shows a concerning pattern with recurring issues across multiple surveys in care planning, heating/ventilation systems, and abuse prevention protocols. Most significantly, care planning deficiencies have appeared in all three surveys (2021, 2023, and 2025), suggesting persistent problems with developing complete resident care plans. The facility also had serious abuse prevention violations in 2021 and ongoing heating system issues, with one receiving only a waiver rather than full correction. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated care planning problems indicate systemic challenges that families should carefully consider.
