Key Review Excerpts

The Activities and Social Services Departments are amazing! Very caring and resident centered.

Family member · 2024★★★☆☆

I also noticed it looked and smelled nice, which is kind of hard to do in a facility, so kudos to the staff there!

Prospective family member · 2025★★★★★

No one answers the phone when you call to talk to a patient, and father-in-law fell out of chair there, but call button was out of reach.

This facility shows concerning patterns with families filing numerous complaints that led to federal citations, particularly for repeated safety hazards and accident prevention failures. The most frequently cited problems involve accident hazards and inadequate supervision, medication management errors, and abuse/neglect protection failures. While the facility corrects most violations when cited, the persistent recurrence of safety issues—with accident hazard violations appearing across multiple complaint investigations from 2023 through 2026—suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent resident safety standards.
