What this means for your family

While recent reviews suggest the facility has improved its staff quality and facility maintenance, families should remain vigilant regarding communication. I recommend scheduling a tour to observe how staff interact with residents and explicitly asking management about their process for resolving resident grievances to ensure your loved one's voice will be heard.

Key Review Excerpts

Patient, capable staff and excellent facilities. Recommend.

Local Guide · 2023★★★★★

Staff attitude is bad. Staff say I refuse showers but they do not ask if I want them. Management believes the staff they did not even ask me my opinion because the staff say but I'm lying and that I caused tension between the shifts.
