I've attempted to leave six reviews on Google about this place, but they keep hiding it or deleting them. I have a family member that unfortunately lives at this facility. I would strongly recommend that if you are considering sending your loved ones here, please reconsider. Unfortunately, the rules to leave reviews anywhere prevent me from including important details. But as someone that frequently visits this place to see their family member, I cannot possibly recommend this place.

If you're considering placing your loved one at this facility I strongly urge you to reconsider. My father was admitted on a Friday and by Sunday afternoon we brought him home because we were concerned for his well-being and safety. Within the first 24 hours of being at the facility, my father had a potentially life-threatening fall that resulted in an emergency room visit. We were assured a bed alarm would be placed on the bed, it was not. The facility is severely understaffed and poorly managed. If they have the appropriate staff-to-resident ratio by law, I would be shocked. In the wing my father was in there was only one aide and one floater per shift for several residents that were considered fall risks. They have life-alert devices that residents wear. My father pushed it twice in the short time he was there with no response. Not a delayed response - NO response at all. Additionally, we learned that some of the staff responsible for caring for the residents make $13 p/hour. This indicates that the staff they do have are grossly underpaid. If you have a loved one here, check on them and do a deep dive into the level of care they are receiving. On the surface they appear fine however there are several underlying deficiencies. If you are looking for a facility for your loved one, DO NOT place them here. It is not safe and the level of care is sub-standard.
