Resident & family reviews
I had heard comments, good and bad, about this nursing home so I was skeptical at first. Once I came in and met the staff and talked with a few people there, I trusted them to care for my mother. I was extremely pleased and surprised at the care she received. The staff were caring and loving with my mother. They treated her with the utmost care and respect. I could not have asked for a better place for her to end her journey here on earth. The nursing staff was very professional, the CNA's were always right there, and other staff members came in and talked to her and made her feel welcome and important in their life.
