What this means for your family

The facility's physical therapy and wound care specialists are highly regarded and could be excellent for post-surgical recovery. However, you must be extremely vigilant regarding skin integrity and call light responsiveness, as multiple families have reported serious neglect and pressure sores. We recommend visiting during evening or night hours to personally verify the responsiveness of the night staff.

Key Review Excerpts

I was there for two months following surgery for broken hip. The physical therapy team did not let me give up! It was questionable if I would walk, sure to have a limp. I took the challenge! I’m home, alone and driving independently although I do errands with walker I have in car.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

My family member stayed there for 21 days and we had to move hin to another facility. When he lift, he had stage 3 pressure sores all over his body and legs , which was very serious.

Long-term resident's family · 2026☆☆☆☆

They take forever to answer call lights My mother has to wait 45+ minutes to get assistance for anything. This is sad. CNAs need to do there job.

This facility shows a concerning pattern with 23 deficiencies across 5 surveys, including families filing two complaints about resident assessment issues and readmission rights. The main problem areas involve fire safety systems (appearing repeatedly), resident rights violations, and care assessments. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the recurring fire safety issues and complaint-triggered violations about basic resident protections warrant careful consideration during any visit.
