What this means for your family

While some families report excellent end-of-life care, the facility struggles with chronic understaffing and significant billing transparency issues. We strongly recommend that you verify all insurance coverage details in writing with the facility director before admission and consider having a family member present regularly to monitor care quality.

Key Review Excerpts

“The staff worked with our family to meet mom's needs, health and prescription services were arranged and reviewed with changes made to react to her declining health.”

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

“The only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 star rating is due to the poor condition of the rooms, etc. It needs a good makeover and it would be a top notch place.”

Rehab patient · 2022★★★★☆

“Similar to another reviewers experience he regularly had long wait times to be able to use the bathroom due to short staffing. He also received cold food regularly for the same reason (short staffing).”
