What this means for your family
The facility has shown recent improvements in resident care and facility aesthetics, particularly for rehab and end-of-life support. However, because multiple reviewers have historically cited understaffing and management issues, I recommend asking the administration specifically about their current nurse-to-patient ratios and how they handle staffing shortages on weekends.

Key Review Excerpts
“Staff was great (even when understaffed, they just worked harder) and food was very good! The rooms were being renovated just as I was leaving and looked beautiful.”
“The staff are amazing, they were really good with dad (Jacob Rodriguez), he loved all the staff, anything we/he needed they were there, staff would joke with dad and dad would joke back.”
“Although we do not have a relative there, one of our former neighbors has been in residence for nearly two years. The level of care she receives is adequate, there are times when they seem to be understaffed.”
