We are having a good experience here. It has a small home feel with consistent staff caring for my family member. She is being seen my OT, PT and ST. SMP South's calendar is full of activities throughout the day that all their residents can participate in regardless of physical or cognitive challenges. The food looks really good. When I had supper there once it was really good. I have popped in at random times during the day. Sometimes my family member is in her room other times she is in the common area. The staff have gotten to know her and lets her call the shots for what she wants to do and where she wants to be. When staff approach her, she smiles.

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 →
