A citation on its own does not mean poor care, and most are corrected within weeks. What matters most is how serious the findings were and whether the same problems keep coming back. When you visit, it is fair to ask the administrator what inspectors found and what has changed since.

Resident & family reviews

Don't even think about this place.

This place is horrible and should not be open let alone allowed to keep anyone for any type of care. After 4 days my family and I got our grandmother out of this place. She was there for care after surgery and for a bed wound and had a machine that needed to be turned on at all times... Each time we were there physically it wasn't even plugged in but when we called and asked nurses said "yeah it's working fine." Her wounds got worse there because of the treatment she was given and we ended up demanding she be sent to the local ER... This took threats of calling the police just to get her transported. There were NO registered nurses/doctors in the facility at night, just a "supervisor" who mainly watched the office and manned the phones.. The nurse who I'm assuming was suppose to be there on duty called from her home... Food is crap and it seems that student nurses do ALL the work. What food we ended up bringing (snacks) to her was consumed by patients who just randomly entered her room or nursing staff... One person told her to "eat a peppermint" as they grabbed for chips and cookies in her drawer... Please, if you love your loved ones and value their health take them some where else.
