This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy staff are wonderful and have helped my mom grow stronger each day. The nursing staff and techs are also good about caring for my mom, keeping her room clean, and answering her questions.”
“The care my mother has received at the memory care unit for this facility has been truly reassuring during what is otherwise a very difficult journey with dementia. From the very beginning, the staff have shown genuine compassion, patience, and attentiveness to her needs.”
“My grandpa was also there because he needs care since he had a stroke, so part of his body is still not functional, he was taken to the bathroom and was left there alone so he fell and had to get 5 stitches on his head.”
