What this means for your family

If you are considering this facility, you must conduct a site visit during off-hours and specifically ask how they ensure feeding and hygiene assistance for residents who cannot care for themselves.

Key Review Excerpts

The residents often are ignored for hours on ends - I saw this.

Family member · 2022☆☆☆☆

I can't be remiss in mentioning the outstanding physical therapist staff that are welcoming and motivating to get you back on track in your health!

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

I try to be there at least 5 times for dinner each week to feed my mom because whenever I am not there it is a hit or miss on when she will be fed.
