What this means for your family

This facility is highly regarded for its clean environment and dedicated therapy staff, making it a strong candidate for rehabilitation. However, because some families have noted concerns regarding staffing ratios, I recommend asking the administration specifically about their current staffing-to-resident ratios and how they handle weekend coverage.

Key Review Excerpts

This was my mom's home for almost 2 yrs when she declined with dimentia. My Dad has been here twice for rehab. What a wonderful place! Approachable, friendly, staff. Parents care and needs always met.

Memory care family member · 2020★★★★★

The outpatient physical therapy department is the best, in my opinion. Through the years when I've needed therapy I always choose to go there. Therapists are A+ and other staff are very courteous, friendly and helpful.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

Understaffed. The folks who work there try their best but they're only human... for as much money as these people pay for the privilege of living and dying there, you would think that the powers that be would hire more employees.

This facility has recurring fire safety issues across multiple surveys, with deficiencies in sprinkler system maintenance, smoke barriers, and fire alarm systems appearing repeatedly from 2023 through 2025. One family filed a complaint regarding quality of care that resulted in a deficiency finding. While all issues show correction dates, the pattern of repeated fire safety violations and persistent building safety concerns suggests ongoing facility maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
