Key Review Excerpts

The building was cleaned imaculately. No old people or medicine smell.(lol) There was one nurse that took her time and escorted me all the way to my aunt's room where I found her clean, dry with a good meal and in very good spirits.

Rehab patient's family · 2025☆☆☆☆

My grandmother stayed here for skilled nursing care, and we had a great experience. The nursing staff and therapy team were both excellent, and the food was good as well.

Skilled nursing family member · 2025★★★★★

They neglected my mom everyday. She was supposed to have a diaper change every 2 hours, but they left her in a dirty diaper for several hours everyday.
