What this means for your family

While the physical therapy department is frequently praised for its effectiveness, the facility has significant, recurring issues with cleanliness and basic resident care. We strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to observe the actual level of staffing and hygiene, as multiple reports suggest these are areas of critical failure.

Key Review Excerpts

My grandmother is bed bound after a stroke and was approved by medicaid to live in this facility. She has bed sores, a rash from the literally poop they left her in. She has expressed that she is being hurt by them.

Memory care family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

The building consistently smells strongly of urine and poor ventilation. It feels unsanitary and looks like common areas and resident rooms are not cleaned regularly or at all.
