Key Review Excerpts
“The residents of the memory care unit are put in the community area or lined up in the hallway in front of the nurse station and left alone.”
“The home seems good but your nursing aids on weekends and nights (most) are horrible. They do not respond and they spend most of their time on their cellphones.”
“My brother was in place, and all I can say is don't do it!!!! He was left in this place: bed sores,, stitches that weren't removed, clothing stolen....I could go on.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
