What this means for your family

While some families report positive interactions with specific nursing staff, the facility has a consistent pattern of severe cleanliness issues and understaffing. We strongly advise families to conduct an unannounced visit, specifically requesting to see the residential floors rather than just the lobby, and to ask management directly about their specific protocols for preventing resident neglect and theft.

Key Review Excerpts

The rooms are filthy. My father’s room had bugs in the dressers and closet, along with the floors. Human waste on the footing of the bed.

Long-term resident's family · 2024☆☆☆☆

I could walk in and walk through the building all the way to my mother’s room without seeing any staff. The man down the hall from my mother would ring for staff to come and no one would.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

The nursing staff are incredibly compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to the well-being of every resident. It’s clear that they take the time to listen, respond quickly to needs, and treat each person with dignity and respect.
