Key Review Excerpts

The staff also provide competent care on an individualized basis to meet the needs of the residents and their loved ones.

Local Guide · 2019★★★★★

A housekeeper overhead me mention that I wanted headphones, she walked from across the room and gave me hers. I've seen the staff on multiple occasions do unsolicited gestures to make the residents happy.

This facility has a concerning pattern of deficiencies, including multiple family-filed complaints involving resident abuse, neglect, medication errors, and improper restraint use. The most recurring issues are fire safety problems, medication management failures, and quality of care concerns. While most deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of serious complaint-triggered violations regarding resident protection and proper nursing care suggests ongoing operational challenges families should carefully consider.
