While individual nurses are highly praised for their compassion, the systemic issues with understaffing and cleanliness are too significant to ignore; families should conduct an unannounced visit to verify basic care standards.

Key Review Excerpts

I’m fortunate to have Monica Rani as my nurse. I’m fortunate to have Monica Rani as my nurse. I wish I had her every too. She’s intelligent but humble. Most importantly is she cares.

Resident · 2024★★★★★

The staff were very helpful with the care and assistance with me being able to walk again with physical therapy on a daily basis.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★☆☆

My Mom came here in early December 2022 for what we thought would be a two to three week stay. It has ended up being much longer, and now she is in hospice care here. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to the staff here.
