What this means for your family

While many families report successful rehabilitation outcomes and compassionate care, there is a concerning pattern of reports regarding neglect and poor communication. We strongly recommend that you visit in person, observe the staff-to-resident interaction during off-hours, and ask specific questions about their infection control and medication management protocols before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts

When she first arrived she could hardly get out of her bed. When she left she could walk with a cane with little to no assistance. The staff were great with her.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The staff here has been wonderful with helping me deal with my depression. Sometimes I know they have no idea that they've probably saved my life several times.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

The residents are poorly taken care of. There are bugs everywhere. The staff is horrible and what good ones they have they show no appreciation for.
