Key Review Excerpts

“The staff, beginning with Ms. Bass in admissions, helped me through the process seamlessly. We toured the place prior to him coming to get a sense of the environment. Though it’s an older building, and they’re making improvements, the people inside made the difference.”

Respite care family member · 2025★★★★☆

“The staff would keep his walker in an inconvenient spot making him dependent on lazy CNAs that would leave in the middle of the shift to buy lottery tickets ( witnessed several times).”

Resident's family · 2025★☆☆☆☆

“Recently did clinicals here saw a lady’s call light going off and nurses just sat there and acted like nothing was happening. Decided to walk into the room to see what was going on and the lady was stuck on the toilet.”
