Key Review Excerpts
“Her meals looked and tasted very appetizing plus were served on plates with water stemware and linens. Her building was always clean and fresh smelling.”
“The food is consistently excellent, and the variety of activities and events truly makes it feel like a cruise ship that never leaves the port—in the best possible way!”
“When the nursing staff was questioned about allowing my mother to have certain foods she is allergic to (her doctor and I have mentioned multiple times to not allow) the response was, “people are allowed to make poor decisions here.””
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
