This is a place that I don't recommend to anyone. My mother lives there under my sister control and I don't have a say so. It smells so bad in there and the people that work there are so unconcerned about the patients If you make a complaint it is bush off and nothing is done about it.

It appears very nice from outside and inside, but staffing is a problem. I had a problem there about my sister that was there for rehabilitation. I wrote the administrator and received a notice of receipt and acknowledgement but never got that call. They are not responsive to the patients or family.

I was not pleased at all no one was ever at nursing station. Promises made about cold food and nothing was done. I complained about my aunt having swelling in her right knee and nothing was done at times they wouldn't give her pain meds for her pain. I would call several times to talk to some one in charge I even gone up there twice to talk to someone they were always in a meeting. My aunt is now hospitalized do to a huge blood clot after expressing concern about thr problem for over two weeks the facility never looked into the matter. She was released on the 4th of April and the next day…

This place is horrible. Had a family member there for over a month for rehab after a fall and her health drastically declined. She was depressed. The stinch of the place is always terrible. The food served would not feed to a dog. Staff most of them not trained; has the worst attitudes and dont give a care about the patients. Noise level is awful. Glad she is home doing much better. Its shameful to be treated this way.

The stuff is very very nice our first week was amazing

This is not the place. It gets worse every day. I have never experienced so much hate from people as I have here. I can’t tell you how many times I have been screeched at by “nurses” and CNAs. If you ask a simple question staff goes off the rails and is immediately on the defensive. Then they walk into the hall and bad mouth you really loud to make sure you hear it. My father asked what medication he was given this morning and all hell broke loose. Nurse refused to tell him and says he only wants to know because I reminded him to ask. No, he has the right to know what he is being given especially since there is no rhyme or reason to the way they administer medication. Breakfast today 2 pieces of bacon and a slice of toast. How can one recover when this place doesn’t provide proper nutrition? We have to supplement with food from home. I stayed the night with dad one night because I was told I could. At 4:50 am a nurse came in with the DON on his cell on speaker, woke him up and threatened to call the police on me. The staff said I made them uncomfortable?! I stayed that night because the family was uncomfortable with the way they treat daddy. Holy goodness! Thank God for the excellent PT and OT he gets. Seriously be careful here!

I want to thank the Administrator Mrs. Davis for raising the standards at the nursing home and making such meaningful improvements. I also appreciate how promptly you address concerns and how well you keep my family informed. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of care and the positive attitude we’ve seen since you became the new team leader. Thank you!

They are failing the ones who need help the most! Being understaffed is understandable but neglecting is unacceptable. DO BETTER! There was only a few that worked here that actually showed compassion. Also the communication here sucks!
