If you consider this facility, you must conduct unannounced visits and ask specifically how they ensure residents maintain mobility and receive adequate nutrition, as these are recurring points of failure in past reviews.

Key Review Excerpts

My dad was admitted for skilled nursing to rehab after a broken hip. He went in awake, alert. able to communicate, read, write etc. He just needed PT to get walking. That place almost killed him.

Long-term resident's family · 2019☆☆☆☆

My Mom was walking when she went in. The first thing they did was put her in a wheelchair, she never walked on her own again.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

All of my fears came to light when they left my 76 yr old Mother sitting in a chair all night freezing cold! That's cruelty in my opinion because I explained when I brought her there for Respite she's always cold due to her Chemo medicine.
