Had a family member stay here for recovery after being discharged and I would not recommend anyone to take their loved ones here. The quality of care is non existent, along with hygiene standards. Upon arriving on the first day, our family member had to be put on life support. In the middle of the night, the machine broke and she was left unattended after repeatedly hitting the call button for 3 hours. She thought she was going to die because no one was coming to help. They also failed to give her medications on time. It's p... read more

The moment I stepped into this place the whole vibe was off. Don't expect a greeting from the front desk because you won't be getting one. What you can expect to see is patients up and down the hallways and the smell was horrific. My grandmother stayed here for 1 week before we were luckily able to move her. She was not changed regularly, or transferred properly. She was put on the facility floor with no socks on which doesn't seem like a big deal but in healthcare it is. The conversation in the hallways from the nurses with... read more

My special Needs brother was in this facility. There were constantly problems with medication dispensing concerns. Labs were not being done per doctor's orders. Phone in room was out of service for days and multiple requests to fix it were made. Different patients would enter into his personal space and try to take his things. I had to have his personal caregiver sit daily with him as I could not for personal reasons. Food was terrible. Quality of care was not good.

I have never submitted a negative review before because I believe in treating others as I wish to be treated. However, I feel it is necessary to share my observations, even though I am not a permanent staff member. Feedback from both nursing staff and patients indicates significant dissatisfaction with the quality of patient care, largely due to chronic understaffing, especially on weekends. Per-diem nurses often fill these gaps, but they face challenges such as insufficient access to essential medications and supplies whil... read more

My mother was here last year. At first it appeared all seemed well. When I would try and call the staff, it became a nightmare. They were clearly short handed of CNAs and Nurses. Meds were NOT given in time and this became a very big issue. I live 3 hours away so I could not get there quickly. One night my Mom called and said it was time for her to die. They were once again LATE on her pain meds. I tried working with staff, nurses, and charge nurse. Nothing helped. The physician did NOT want to ORDER LAB OR XRAYS o... read more

I've had a family member stay here a few years back when Rusty, the administrator, was still there. It was great... I recently went back to the facility because my father is staying there due to an accident he had. I've been trying to get a hold of social services for over a week now, and I haven't heard anything back. The meal portions are super small. My toddler won't even get full with that... On the other hand. The cnas there are great. They provide the best care and are making the best of it for my father and every othe... read more

My grandmother and I's experience dealing with this facility has been nothing short of unbelievable. the day she was transferred here from the hospital I reached out to try to speak to a nurse or dr about her care plan/ time frame and the phone just rang for 20 min. the next day my grandma reported to me that she had no been giver her meds, she had not spoken to a dr or nurse, and no one would talk to her or bring her food. I called 5 times that morning when someone finally answered they said my grandma what's no their patie... read more
