Key Review Excerpts
“The dementia unit there can be pretty scary, especially for someone with only mild dementia. There is a lot of yelling, beeping, and often chaos on that floor.”
“The facility might be outdated but the care is amazing. Thank you”
“The therapists here are great. I cannot believe how wonderful Christine, Sasha, Oliver and the other therapists are.”

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
