Well I’m honestly so glad this is just a temporary place for the family member that was placed here I just can’t imagine putting someone you love into a place like this..? The staff is mostly nice but they are understaffed and I’m sure the building its self is out of code and would not pass a 2026 health department check.

It's still good but was better before buyout from Terrace View.

I don't even want to give you 1 star, filed a complaint on Dec3, 2016 have not heard back from anyone !!!! Do you want me to send the issue on your web site ?

They have good intentions but they are so under staffed that they let the people crap themselves and then clean up... They don't attend to the people's needs and i would not reccomend bringing a member of your family to live there.

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 →
