Key Review Excerpts

The daytime care is excellent, but the nightime care is horrendous

Family member · 2025★★★★★

The therapy department was outstanding. Very professional, knowledgeable and respectful and extremely encouraging in my recovery.

Former resident · 2024★★★★★

Instead of waiting, you decide to go to the nursing station for help to be told to wait so you wait some more for someone to finally show up and say again and be annoyed.

This facility shows concerning patterns with 47 deficiencies across three surveys, including one complaint where a family reported inadequate nutrition care. The most recurring issues involve medication management, nutrition and dietary services, and care planning, with nutrition problems appearing in all three surveys from 2022 to 2024. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistence of similar issues across multiple years suggests ongoing operational challenges families should consider.
