What this means for your family

While the facility is physically well-maintained and offers strong physical therapy and activities, the recurring reports of neglect and slow response times are deeply concerning. If you consider this facility, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits during evening or weekend hours to observe staffing levels and response times firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts

It takes them over 2 hours to answer call lights, which I actually believe is a blatant display of disregard for vulnerable life.

Family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

The nursing staff and personal care attendants are attentive and helpful. I have been in the care center for post hospital stays. The physical therapy dept is very good.

Assisted Living resident · 2025★★★★★

The staff are caring and spend time with the residents. My mom seems well cared for and happy. Every time I visit she is out of her room and visiting with other residents and staff.
