I have heard horror stories about this "care" center for over 30 years. I would not send an animal there.

I made my grandmother a quilt. It was stolen. I called the director and she still hasn’t returned my call. Of course non of the thieves working there has not seen it. This place needs better employees or shut down. It’s dirty and the one cna or nurse seemed high on drugs. I wouldn’t let my dog be cared for at this place.

Residents are treated terrible, the care takers of the facility are very mean and frustrated with residents and handle them roughly most days. Certain residents end up with unexplainable bruises on them and no one looks into it because they cant “afford” to loose CNA workers as head admissions David say’s. The residents sit in urine and fesses for more then 3/4 hours at a time even asking to be changed several times. The place is unsanitary in all aspects!

My mother was in the Dementia Unit and received amazing care while she was there. Staff provided timely updates. I was included in all aspects of her care. The Director of the unit communicated and explained every step of my mothers care. After she passed, staff shared stories about her and how she will be missed. It was clear I placed my mother in the right place at the right time. Thank you for taking care of mother until the end.
