Key Review Excerpts

After arriving here he received daily physical therapy that tested his limits as time and went on, he received food that was necessary for diet restriction due to blood and pressure, and found great friends in nurses and other patients.

Rehab patient's family · 2022★★★★★

Today they had a picnic out on the patio. Food was good and great music and entertainment. Staff was awesome. It was hosted by a real sweetheart “JAN”!!!

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

The main problem was that the staff neglected to provide critical medication designed to prevent seizures, among other things.

This facility shows recurring problems across multiple surveys, with families having filed complaints about accident prevention. The most persistent issues involve dietary services (food safety, temperature, and staffing), medication management, and infection control appearing in surveys from 2021 through 2025. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated problems in critical care areas like food service and medication safety across four years suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
