What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for physical rehabilitation, with many families praising the modern environment and effective therapy programs. However, be aware of recurring reports regarding slow response times for basic assistance; we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staff-to-patient ratios and asking management about their protocol for call-bell responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts

The most impressive part of this facility is the rehab section. It is clean and up to date.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The facility is clean and appeared to be adequately staffed to meet the needs of the patients.

Visitor · 2025★★★★

Biggest issue with this facility is there are not enough aides to take care of the residents. A person has to wait a very long time for a bedpan &/or to be cleaned up. The aides are wonderful but they are overworked.

This facility shows recurring issues that families should consider, with 28 deficiencies across three surveys spanning fire safety systems, medication management, and care planning. The most recent 2024 survey found problems with resident care planning, pressure ulcer prevention, infection control, and fire safety doors, while earlier surveys in 2022 and 2019 identified similar fire safety and medication oversight concerns. All deficiencies have reported correction dates, suggesting the facility addresses problems when identified, though the pattern of recurring fire safety issues warrants attention.
