What this means for your family

It is difficult to provide a specific recommendation because the current reviews lack descriptive text regarding care or facilities. Families should schedule an in-person tour to verify the quality of staff and cleanliness, as the online ratings do not provide enough detail to assess specific services.

Families filed complaints that triggered two inspections, with recurring issues around accident prevention and safety supervision appearing across multiple surveys. The facility has struggled most with resident assessment and care planning, safety hazards, and infection control. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated safety concerns and complaint-driven investigations suggests ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful evaluation during visits.
