What this means for your family

The facility is physically impressive and offers strong rehabilitation services, which many families find beneficial for short-term recovery. However, you should be aware of the recurring reports regarding slow response times to call buttons and inconsistent care. We strongly recommend visiting during off-hours or weekends to observe staffing levels firsthand and asking management specifically about their process for handling medication and patient grievances.

Key Review Excerpts

I’ll start by saying there is no perfect place but this is close as we’ve come out of 4 different facilities that my father’s been in over the last three years. Kindness cleanliness, and a staff willing to go above and beyond speaks volumes.

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

I was fortunate to be a patient for a month at this facility. I embraced their Nursing and Physical Therapy care that I needed after a bad fall at home. The CNAs and Nurses were compassionate and attentive.

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

Some (most) staff members are extremely rude, lazy, and seem unwilling or bothered to offer the necessary care that patients need. We have had issues with the staff not responding for 30+ minutes when the nurse button is pushed.
