Key Review Excerpts

It’s the cleanest nursing home facility I’ve ever been to. I’m so happy my Grandmother is in such great care. The nurses and CNA’s are so caring, and are quick to help patients, play games with them, talk with them, and clean them up if need be.

Grandchild of resident · 2019★★★★★

Great place for anybody that needs therapy and for anyone needs to be in a nursing home the staff the nurses and CNA were great

General visitor · 2023★★★★★

Would give it 5 stars but when we were walking around looking for grandmas room, we passed several staff and not a single one asked if they could help us.

This facility has recurring serious concerns including a recent complaint involving abuse/neglect, with families having filed five complaints triggering federal investigations. The most persistent problems involve care planning deficiencies (appearing in five of six surveys), resident rights violations, and infection control issues.
