Key Review Excerpts

Walking into this building is like walking in to home. Very friendly team. The activity department always have something going and residents love to participate.

Rehab patient or family member · 2024★★★★★

Although it was difficult the staff made an awful situation bearable. They took good care of her and when I had to work or needed some rest I took comfort in the fact she was being looked after by staff that truly cared.

Hospice patient's friend · 2020★★★★

April administrator is rude also the DON. No wonder why this facility got 1 star rating from Medicare Website.
