What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its physical therapy and general nursing care, making it a strong candidate for short-term rehabilitation. However, given the serious allegations regarding the safety and treatment of dementia patients, families considering memory care should conduct an unannounced visit and ask specific questions about oversight and incident reporting protocols.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

This place was absolutely horrible. They treated my Dementia mother like trash. She would have huge bruises that nobody could explain and they isolated her from everyone else.

This facility has a concerning pattern of complaint-triggered deficiencies, with families filing 19 reports across recent surveys that led to violations in nursing staff competency, family notification of incidents, and protection from abuse or neglect. Recurring issues include inadequate nursing oversight, poor communication with families about resident conditions, and administrative problems with quality assurance programs. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of complaints and similar violations across multiple surveys suggests ongoing care quality concerns that families should investigate thoroughly before placement.
