Key Review Excerpts

The staff here was very helpful and courteous. The therapists were very professional and courteous. They all made sure I was able to walk, stand and take care of myself before leaving their facility.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

I find my Mother in food and feces stained pajamas, hair is usually dirty and NEVER combed. It’s just heartbreaking and so depressing, I feel helpless!!

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

The nurses and cna's are rmostly rude. The social workers are completely incompetent. They screwed up my insurance provided transportation home so I ended up stuck there another night.

$159,227 in fines

Nearly half of this facility's 97 federal deficiencies were triggered by families filing complaints, signaling ongoing concerns about resident protection from abuse and neglect, daily care assistance, and food quality and nutrition services. These issues have persisted across multiple years despite corrections, with recent 2024-2025 complaints continuing to cite similar problems. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in core care areas suggests systemic challenges that families should carefully investigate before placement.
