Key Review Excerpts
“One actually locked the head of my bed so I couldn't lower it and hid my call button while I was watching. I asked her to give it to me and she said 'Stop being such an invalid and get it yourself.'”
“The CNA is rough and abusive. His legal rights are routinely violated (for instance, his right to go to bed when he wants to - he is forced to lie in bed for 12 hours a day, which causes his bed sores to grow worse).”
“Relative's personal clothing we shipped to her... gone, her jewelry... disappeared. TV and two phones... gone.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
One family filed a complaint about resident rights that resulted in deficiencies, indicating concerns about dignified treatment and self-determination. The facility shows recurring problems with resident assessments and care planning (appearing in 3 of 4 surveys) and medication labeling issues (found twice). While all deficiencies have correction dates, the pattern of repeated assessment problems across multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with fundamental care planning processes.
