What this means for your family
While the facility offers impressive amenities and on-site medical support, the severe allegations of neglect in the 2020 review are deeply concerning. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for a detailed plan on how the facility ensures timely assistance with toileting and hygiene to avoid the issues reported by some families.

The main problem areas involve fire safety equipment, emergency exits, and electrical systems. While all issues have correction dates, some fire safety and exit door problems persist across both the 2023 and 2025 surveys, suggesting ongoing challenges with infrastructure maintenance and safety compliance.
