What this means for your family
While the administrative team is often praised for their help during the admission process, the facility faces significant, recurring issues with understaffing and communication.

Key Review Excerpts
“Everyone that I came in contact with during this process was extremely professional and caring at the same time. I must admit that I had a lot of questions and needed a lot of help but Mrs. Lytosha Davis took the time to answer every question and explained every detail all while operating with patience and a sense of humor!!!”
“I’m constantly asking what is going on with my mother. She has bed sores from not being turned enough. She was barely being washed until I said something.”
“Dirty, zero physical therapy, and my mother was left wheezing for nearly 30 minutes while the staff forgot that she needed a nebulizer.”
