What this means for your family
While some families report excellent experiences with the rehab team, there is a concerning trend of negative feedback regarding management, staff turnover, and basic hygiene. When touring, we strongly recommend asking for a tour of resident rooms to check for temperature control and cleanliness, and specifically asking management how they address concerns regarding staff response times and noise levels.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is warm and caring, they genuinely wanted the best for him. They treated both of us like we were part of their personal family.”
“The care has gone down immensely in the past year with the current administrator, which has caused dedicated CNAs and nurses to leave for work in environments that value their skills and the care they provide.”
“Unbelievably noisy! I feel like I’m in a cross between a Casino and a train station. Loud announcements, bings and alarms going off every few seconds, super loud televisions.”
