Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given the high praise for your rehabilitation team, how do you ensure that same level of dedicated, hands-on attention carries over into daily personal care and hygiene assistance?
  • 2I noticed your CMS staffing rating is lower than your clinical ratings; what specific protocols are in place to ensure call lights are answered promptly and residents' basic needs are met in a timely manner?
  • 3Could you walk me through the daily routine for residents, specifically regarding how you support those who need extra help with grooming or mealtime assistance?
  • 4How does your team coordinate with outside medical appointments to ensure residents are prepared, escorted, and accompanied by staff who can advocate for their care?
  • 5I see your administrative team is quite responsive to feedback; what is the best way for family members to communicate concerns or check in on their loved one's daily well-being?
  • 6With cleanliness being a priority for our family, could you describe your facility's daily housekeeping schedule and how you maintain high standards in resident living areas?

Key Review Excerpts

The day nurses left her in the shower room without a shower for an hr n a half. Then gets wheeled back dirty.

Memory care family member · 2026★★★☆☆

The staff is always outside smoking or just sitting around on their cell phones while patients are running around with wet adult diapers, hardly ever fill water cups.

Family member · 2026☆☆☆☆

One of the only 5 star rehab facilities around and 5 star it was from the Directors greeting us at the front door Jenifer sparks to the therapist and nurses and CNA’s.

3deficiencies
Well below state avg (12.0)
1 complaint-triggered

This facility has a concerning pattern of recurring safety and care issues, including one complaint-triggered deficiency where families reported problems with treatment and care. The most frequent problems involve fire safety systems, medication management, and resident assessments, with several issues repeating across multiple surveys (emergency lighting, smoke barriers, and assessment accuracy). While the facility reports correcting deficiencies, the pattern of recurring violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining consistent standards of care and safety.
