What this means for your family
While some staff members are reported to be helpful, the recent reports of unprofessional conduct and serious medication management issues are major red flags. I strongly advise families to look elsewhere or, if considering this facility, to conduct unannounced visits and inquire directly about their medication oversight protocols.

Key Review Excerpts
“Overall nurses and aides were good, food with this particular cook was very good. BUT one male nurse decides he will take opioid distribution into his own determination of patient... need and defies my doctor's orders.”
“Not all but most staff are rude and disrespectful to residents behind closed doors. The big lady’s in charge treat staff like crap. And the food sucks it smells and is completely unappetizing.”
“Great staff. Nice facility.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History

The facility also had repeated deficiencies in food safety and fire safety systems. While all violations were reportedly corrected, the pattern of recurring issues in infection control, resident rights, and safety systems raises concerns about the facility's ability to maintain consistent standards of care.
