  My wife was a resident-patient here for 30 days getting the Physical Therapy and Nursing care she needed to get her well enough to go back home. I’ll be honest, at first I was a little leery about the place but as the days and weeks passed (I was with her 11-12 hours every single day) we saw the staff here really Cared and treated her carefully and with amazing skill. It was simply Wonderful! We highly recommend this facility. They will take great care of you or your loved one.

  My mom has been in the hospital for two months, so when this nursing facility said they were willing to take her, my sisters and I were honestly relieved. That lasted about five minutes. She was supposed to be discharged to them on a Saturday. Three hours later, suddenly she had to “stay under observation” for the whole weekend. Fine. Whatever. But then Monday rolls around and I meet a woman named Gemma, who supposedly came to “observe” my mom. Except her big assessment had nothing to do with my mom at all — it was just her asking me questions she should’ve already gotten from the doctors or nurses. She also seemed weirdly negative about my mom’s condition, and then ended the conversation by telling me to tour their facility to see if I thought it was safe for her. I’m sorry… how on earth am I supposed to determine that? Isn’t that literally the entire point of their job? Huge red flag. This woman didn’t seem to know what her own facility could or couldn’t handle. Still, I went. And the “tour” was a joke. They dragged an obviously annoyed staff member away from whatever she was doing, walked me like 30 feet down a hallway, pointed at an empty room, and basically said, “Yep. That’s a room.” No kidding. I didn’t need to drive over there to see something I could’ve imagined in my head in two seconds. Then — because consistency apparently doesn’t exist in this place — my sisters at the hospital were told my mom was denied. Then this morning she was approved. Then this afternoon: denied again. And the final cherry on top? I was told my mom could just wander out into the busy street outside. How is that even something that can happen in a facility full of people who need supervision? Isn’t preventing that exact situation the reason nursing facilities exist in the first place? This place operates like no one actually knows what the facility is capable of, or who’s in charge of anything. Overall, a complete mess and genuinely an unsettling experience.
