What this means for your family
While the facility has seen a surge of positive reviews praising the new management and specific staff members, families must exercise caution due to recent, severe reports of hygiene issues and medication errors. We strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to inspect the cleanliness of the resident rooms and speaking directly with the current nursing director about their medication administration protocols.

Key Review Excerpts
“Since under new management, there has been a very positive change. My aunt is very happy and I see a change in her behavior.”
“The food is terrible, the staff either forgets to give my mom her medication or they give her only some of it some days, and they refuse to let her manage her own meds.”
“This place is one of the nastiest facilities I’ve ever stepped foot in, it smells there’s no cleanliness whatsoever and they have a humongous issue with bedbugs”
