What this means for your family

While some families report positive experiences with the facility's social activities and rehab team, the recent surge in reports regarding neglect and staffing shortages is deeply concerning. We strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to observe actual care levels, and to verify the facility's current ability to manage your loved one's specific medical needs before committing.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff I have dealt with is kind, patient, helpful and fun. However they don't always jump up to respond to call bells and they occasionally offer help and then forget.

Rehab patient · 2015★★★★

My mother had multiple UTIs and was found on the floor several times... it is very frustrating when you go to visit and see the aids in the nursing station on their phones not seeming to care and your mother is sitting in soiled diapers for several hours.

Assisted living family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

All the staff seem to know her and be aware of what's going on with her at any given time. She loves the activities, and the activities staff often call her to invite her to things they think she'll enjoy.
