What this means for your family
While recent reviews suggest a significant improvement in staff morale and care quality, the facility has a history of severe neglect and communication failures. If you choose this facility, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits during weekends and evenings to verify that call light response times and hygiene standards meet your expectations.

Key Review Excerpts
“The management team is excellent—professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to providing high-quality care. They run the facility efficiently and are always willing to answer questions or address concerns.”
“My grandpa has Alzheimer's and got so much worse here in a week physically and mentally. They didn't even open his toothbrush/toothpaste provided, his skin was horribly dry and needed lotion, and when I came to visit, we found him soiled in bed still sleeping at 2pm.”
“My Dad has been given meals that are dangerous for him and against doctors' orders every single day. Part of the reason he's here is to learn how to eat safely. He's been here for over a week and has had very little therapy at all.”
