• Alexis Owen ★☆☆☆☆ February 2, 2026

  My grandmother was admitted to this nursing facility for short-term rehabilitation following a hospital stay after a fall. At the time of admission, she was medically stable and had been diagnosed with COPD, which requires careful oxygen management.<br><br>Within five days of being at this facility, her overall health declined by approximately 60%. Within four days, she developed bed sores, indicating inadequate repositioning, skin checks, and basic preventative care.<br><br>During her stay, her oxygen levels were increased to a point that was not appropriate for a patient with COPD. As later explained to our family by medical professionals, this resulted in oxygen toxicity, which contributed to her rapid decline.<br><br>My grandmother ultimately passed away following her stay at this facility. What was intended to be a short-term rehabilitation placement resulted in severe deterioration and loss of life.<br><br>Families trust nursing homes to provide competent, attentive, and medically appropriate care—especially for vulnerable patients with known respiratory conditions. Based on our experience, this facility failed to meet that standard, and I cannot recommend it to anyone seeking rehabilitation or skilled nursing care for a loved one.<br>DO NOT!!!!!!!!! SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE.

• Rat ON PIZZA ★☆☆☆☆ March 15, 2025

  The lobby looks nice but once you get to patients rooms it shows how much of a dump this place is.Cords are stapled to the walll, old broken bed in my room, broken tv in my room, shared bathroom, bed had to be 50 years or older and just plain dumpy. Traumatizing experience that lasted me 15 hours. They said I had to give 2-3 days notice to leave and in all reality I could leave at anytime.I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

• Honesty ForReal ★★★★☆ November 13, 2024

  I’m going rated it 4 stars because my Mother absolutely love working with Daysha who works over-nights. the food isn’t so good nor the AM or PM staff they don’t interact with the residents as much which should change. I thank Daysha everyday because my mother looks forward to her caring each time she’s there.
