Very peaceful. All people you come in contact with are helpful and very pleasant. Relieved that someone we love is getting the care and attention they need.

I would not recommend this facility for your loved ones. Family came in and barely received OT/PT, compared to what they were supposed to provide. Beds don’t have any protection for patients who are a known fall risk. Family fell out of bed and had to be rushed to the hospital for stitches. They also either has sepsis or a concussion, and they are planning to send them home. I’ve tried calling the staff multiple times and can’t get a return phone call. I also received a false report of what happened, and have yet to hear the real story. Stay clear.

All I have to say is if you have a loved one here be sure you know how they are treated and talked too . Be sure to advocate for their care.

We visited our freind Mitzi at lunch time and watched her and her husband eat a big nutritious lunch. The CNA was helpful and Sheri at the front desk was great.

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 →
