What this means for your family
While the facility's physical and occupational therapy teams are frequently praised for their clinical expertise, the recent surge in reports regarding neglected wounds and poor nursing communication is a major red flag. If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and asking specifically about their infection control protocols and current nurse-to-patient ratios.

Key Review Excerpts
“I would give them a zero if I could. I won’t get into all the details of how horribly they treat their patients. I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy the way they treat the people under their care.”
“They fought hard for me, I fought back.they have a good team of occupational and physical therapist. Now as far as the CNA go, most r amazing. ALICE ON THE 2ND FLOOR IS THEE BEST.”
“This place was horrendous. My grandmother was admitted there and when I visited her it was like a classic hospital horror movie set. Patients wandering endlessly up and down the halls without staff attending to them.”

Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Families have repeatedly filed complaints triggering inspections that found serious care deficiencies, including pressure ulcer care problems, inadequate nutrition, medication errors, and neglect issues. The facility struggles with infection control, medication management, and basic resident care across multiple surveys.
