What this means for your family
While this facility has a history of providing excellent rehab and hospice care, recent years show a dangerous trend toward neglect and lack of supervision.

Key Review Excerpts
“I moved my mom there two weeks ago after she was in at another facility for 11 years since I moved her she is eating better looks better and is awake a lot more than what she was at the other facility.”
“My 92yo grandmother was forced to come here to recover from her hip surgery, and it was a horrible experience. As others have mentioned, the neglect is apparent. And, someone went into her room while she was sleeping and stole things.”
“During the pandmeic she had a significant weight loss. A little over a month after being admitted to St. Anthony's she was back to a healthy weight. We love her nurses and aids and the Therapy team is absolutly the best!”
