What this means for your family

While some families report excellent experiences with therapy and memory care, the recent influx of reports regarding facility neglect and hygiene is concerning. We strongly advise you to inspect the specific wing your loved one would occupy and ask management directly about the status of building repairs and current staffing ratios.

Key Review Excerpts

The care dad received was exceptional. They saw the best of him and they treated my dad as if he were their very own family.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

The PT and OT are excellent. They took my husband from non weight bearing to walking 150 ft with a walker. Very impressive!!

Long-term resident's family · 2017★★★★★

Severely understaffed. Smells terrible. The lack of quality care for residents is abhorrent. The kitchen, and hallways flood when it rains.

This facility has a concerning pattern of complaint-driven deficiencies, with families repeatedly filing reports about protection from abuse and neglect, medication management, and safety hazards. Multiple recent complaints in 2025 involved failures to protect residents from abuse and neglect, with ongoing issues in medication errors and accident prevention. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the recurring nature across multiple years suggests persistent problems requiring careful evaluation during any visit.
