Food is horrible, attention to care is only a grade of C trying to get a hold of management is impossible. Knowledge that some of the staff has is questonable.

- James Lightfoot ★★★★★ November 5, 2025
My mom is currently at your facility after a procedure at AV Hospital…The staff is professional, courteous and very attentive to the patients. I’ve personally delivered medical supplies to your facility for years and have always noticed how clean the facility is and how professional the staff is. Thank you for taking care of my mother in her time of need.

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 →
