What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts

Although not new, fancy, or glamorous, this facility has heart! My husband progressed rapidly from a nasty fall and two weeks of hospitalization to the point that he is now asking for continued PT.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

While the facility is not new, the food heavy on starches, and communication between staff could be improved, this facility gets 5 stars for thing that really count.

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

She helped us with the process and made the transition smooth and worry free. We would also like to thank Jenny for the excellent care she has given my father during the hard transition.

28 complaint-triggered
$95,761 in fines

Families have filed multiple complaints that triggered inspections, raising serious concerns about medication management, nutrition services, and resident rights. The facility has received 84 deficiencies across 9 surveys, with persistent issues in medication labeling and oversight appearing in virtually every inspection since 2022. While the provider reports correcting all violations, the recurring nature of medication and dietary problems, combined with recent complaints about abuse reporting and pressure ulcer care, suggests ongoing quality concerns that families should carefully evaluate.
