What this means for your family

While some families report excellent, personalized care and helpful social work support, there is a persistent pattern of unprofessional communication and difficulty reaching staff by phone.

Key Review Excerpts

The social worker, Dina, was especially helpfully in working with us and helping us understand how things were going and how we could help. I felt she took my phone calls and questions seriously.

Family member of resident · 2026★★★★★

My elderly parent is currently a resident. I am thrilled at the caring, understanding and patience the staff shows towards every single resident.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

Every time I call for my family member, I get rude women answering the phone, not giving me their name or position, and I'm not able to speak to my family member for what reason, I don't know.

This facility has concerning patterns, particularly with protecting residents from abuse and neglect, which appeared in multiple family complaints from 2023 through 2025. The facility also shows recurring problems with medication management, resident rights, and infection control across multiple surveys. While all deficiencies report correction dates, the persistent nature of abuse-related complaints and repeated medication errors across years suggests ongoing challenges in core care areas that families should carefully evaluate.
