I have not been here yet, but I do know that if you send your loved one a greeting through the website, there is only a 10% chance they will receive it.... Staff needs to understand that these are people. How they treat them can make a world of difference. This world could use more empathy.....<br>Treat people how you would want to be treated..... It's not that hard to do and if it is, you might be working in the wrong field...

This place is not a good place to take your family. They don't take care of your family they don't care if your family member has bed sores they won't call the hospital are they won't clean there room. They don't care about the patient.They treated my husband bad

One example of the filth they have elderly and disabled living in. This facility is by far one of the worst I’ve ever visited. The staff have been known for not reporting incidents about patients and the social worker doesn’t follow up on concerns. The staff can’t answer my basic questions of concern, I’ve witnessed them feed my mother expired food and their excuse was they didn’t know. I have reported that a nurse and other patients have been abusive verbally to my mother but they do nothing about it. I feel helpless since I can’t take my mother anywhere else. I suggest anyone with a loved one here, check on them constantly for their well being.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
