Hello everyone, My family and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Fran. She consistently checked on my dad, grandfather, and father-in-law, and always followed up on any concerns we had. Mrs. Fran from the Administration Department has been amazing, and her compassion and dedication have meant a great deal to our family.

Hello everyone, My family and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Fran. She consistently checked on my dad, grandfather, and father-in-law, and always followed up on any concerns we had. Mrs. Fran from the Administration Department has been amazing, and her compassion and dedication have meant a great deal to our family. We would also like to thank the nursing staff for the excellent care and assistance they provided to my father. In addition, the Administration Department has been outstanding, and we have noticed great improvements in housekeeping and food services, which my father greatly appreciates. Thank you all for your hard work, kindness, and commitment to providing quality care.

Beware. This is not a good place to send your loved one for nursing care. Neglect and lack of accountability run rampant through the halls. Be wary. Sad because at one place this was a good place.

Un lugar para ancianos, con exelete atención y muy limpio

If I were you, I would not send your loved ones to this facility. The place is very run down and smells awful. It felt like a war zone when walking through the halls. Surprised this place has not shutdown.

I appreciated the follow-up to my review. I look forward to improved communication And attention to medical needs we discussed. The new chef will hopefully provide a more balanced & tasty menu. Thank you for your attention

Meeting staff members in person was a pleasant experience however when sending emails getting a response is almost non existent. Follow through on medical appointments or certain needs have gone unfulfilled. The food is sub par. Although grievances have been filed (by others) nothing has been done for improvement.

If you are looking to ever be able to contact the facility, this is NOT the place for you. They do not answer the phone.
