This facility is supported by an incredible team of hardworking professionals. The CNAs and nurses are attentive, compassionate, and consistently provide excellent care. The housekeepers also deserve special recognition for keeping the environment clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Their combined efforts create a positive and supportive atmosphere for patients and families alike. Highly recommend.

If you have a loved one that is NOT medically complex and can essentially take care of themselves, then this facility would suffice. However, if your family member requires actual skilled nursing and compassionate, competent staff, then do NOT choose this facility if you have the option. I unfortunately did not have much choice when sending my mother here due to insurance restrictions and I regretted it daily. Their neglect and medical incompetence resulted in her death. Facility staff hold no one accountable for anything nor is genuine compassion shown. Several instances reported with lack of care provided to Director of Nursing, but was met with disingenuous responses and the standard, "additional training will be provided to the staff" speech. I gave this facility 1 star and that is a stretch only because there are roughly 2 nurses and 3 CNAs that care and try their best.

My husband is a resident here. I am so happy with his care and the staff. I recommend this place to people . The people who work there really do care about their residents. And it shows.

This place has turned around and administration and facilities have worked hard to earn this 5 star. They listen to patients and family and do what they can to make a difference. Their staff is vibrant and fresh, good people who care about people, always working toward improvement and constantly reaching the benchmarks to offer excellence in healthcare.
