All things considered, this is a SNF to which I would return if needed. No major faults. Many major blessings including kind staff.

HORRIBLE!!!! My mom had only been there for 3 days, and she's gotten the worst care. Nurses take over 30 minutes to get to her and help go the bathroom. And when she has accident because she didn't make it on time to the bathroom they expect my mom to take off her own bottoms, when my mom is there due to he inability to move and needs therapy. We are currently trying to get her out of there to a better facility, but the head nurse is lagging to help us with the transfer. This health care center has employees talking out loud about thier BBL's, playing loud music, nurses are having full blown out loud conversations, being very unprofessional. All this is going on while there are multiple lights turned on from outside if the residents rooms, meaning they need help. All I can say, never again will we be coming here again. And please don't put your love ones here.

I am writing on behalf of my roommate/client that I do IHSS for at home. He broke his hip Dec 1st and was sent here for rehabilitation after surgery. The 1st day he arrived no one had any idea of what meds he was on until I brought them all in and told them what he takes. His call button worked but the light outside the door was burnt out although we were told the nurses station could see he needed assistance but it took 4 other staff members to get his nurse. When he told them he needed to go number 2 he was told by staff to go in his diaper and to him that was very demeaning and unsanitary. He shared a bathroom with 3 other people witch also seemed unusual. They never asked about food preferences until I showed up once again to inform them what he does and does not eat. He was in a room that had a sliding glass door that at times was left ajar all night. Most of the staff seemed very unsure of how they should proceed until they checked with others. He went a whole week without a shower (due to him being transported to have his staples removed) causing him to miss his (scheduled) shower time. He had amazing results with his rehabilitation staff. He initially wanted to give 1 star but was very pleased with Richard the night nurse and Dahlia the morning med nurse as well as Elena and Melanie the physical therapists who encouraged him to keep pushing so he could come home. He is now home and much happier.

Excellent Staff. Very clean facility. Everyone treated our mother with such kindness and care. Brian was caring, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. He answered any questions we had and always had time to talk when we had concerns or needed help. My mom really loved Richard and Innocent. They made her feel so special and always took great care of her. We could feel relieved and relaxed when we left, knowing she was in the best care and kept very clean and comfortable.

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 →
