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.

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

I seriously broke my hip falling off my bicycle and after an operation to place pins in my hip, I came here to start my healing process. I could not have picked a better facility! All of the staff here are diligent, caring and take a personal interest in you. Of note is the nursing staff, the Physical Therapists, whom I've grown quite fond of, and even the management staff. The director, Ethan Flake came by regularly to see how I was doing and the Social Worker succeeded in finding me affordable Independent Living getting m... read more
