We decided on this facility for my uncle after his hospital stay since it was close to home and they allowed visitation for me and my family members. The facility is actually really clean and they have 2 pretty outdoor patios! The therapy team worked with my uncle which really helped his strength and endurance. My uncle doesn't ask for much but whenever he pressed his call light, he was helped quickly. The nurses were very attentive and helpful whenever we had questions!

I have been an employee here at University Care Center just under 2 yrs. I have been a nurse for 26 yrs, and have worked in a variety of settings. I have to say hands down this is a great facility. The "team" mentality is very strong here. Which makes this facility more like a family. We all share the same values and commitment which is we are here for our residents and their families. I would recommend University Care Center to friends and family as well as anyone looking to join a great team.

This place has many genuine and caring staff members. PTs and RNs are very caring. The LVN and CNA teams are amazing as well. Things are not perfect but there is a sense of community here. Just be there to advocate and support your family member staying here. My dad liked the food here and he was fairly picky. Shout-out to the entire team, each of you is appreciated. Special shout-out to Frances(RN), Christian(LVN), and Daniel(PT)! You guys left a good impression on me and my dad.

I am very grateful for the care that my grandmother received at University Care Center. The director, Ethan, went above and beyond and did everything in his capacity to ensure my grandmother was well cared for. The LVNs and CNAs are absolutely amazing and do their every best to provide the highest level of care for each patient. They treated my grandmother as if she was one of their family memebrs. They were always kind to me and supported me in caring for my grandmother until the very end of her life. I don't really care fo... read more

Business response:

Having never been to a nursing home before, i can't compare my experience to any other facility. I'd give it 3 stars as there were things that were good & other things that were intolerable. GOOD: - Most of the staff was pleasant & would try to do whatever necessary to make you comfortable. Very few RN's, so a lot of shuffling to get competent person w/ appropriate skill sets. - Physical/occupationalTherapists were good & listened to concerns and were inventive in order to get best results. - Old facility that is kept ... read more

Business response:
