The only problem I have is the night shift at dinner times they leave you in your wheelchair forever and ever I am and watching a stream pain and it just walk right by you and do nothing the night shift needs to be fixed ASAP but other than that it's a wonderful wonderful nursing home they've done a lot for me and save my life as well

Please if you take your loved ones here watch them closely! Be their advocate. My mother was here and she told them for 4 days that her foot/ leg was in extreme pain they did nothing.. just “documentation” we requested an ambulance on our own and she found out she had a Tibial Fracture! I pulled her from the facility immediately. Some bad staffing going on in there. And the Dr knew it was bothering her also! If you can I’d send your loved ones elsewhere or make sure you pop in at random times all the time! Extremely disappointed in the staff and how they handled that situation.
