What this means for your family

This facility is frequently praised for its rehabilitation therapy, making it a strong candidate for post-surgery recovery. However, families of long-term residents should be cautious; multiple reviewers report significant issues with staffing levels and communication. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours and asking specifically how the facility manages care protocols and family updates for long-term residents.

Key Review Excerpts

The skilled nursing is a definite & affirmative JOKE. Only 6 days in our family was shocked at the lack of care. This facility did not follow recommended protocol given for his specific health care needs.

Long-term resident's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

Administration is too busy to focus on troubleshooting medical issues, ignorance runs amuck, cleanliness is not a priority, and communication is non-existent among the staff and with family.

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