Resident & family reviews
I worked for this nursing home and I can tell you that this is one of the worse nursing homes in the area and one of the worst nursing homes I have ever worked for. I wouldn't put my dog in that place. The place smells horrible the minute you walk through the doors. The rooms are extremely dirty. The bathrooms look like they haven?t been cleaned in years. The whole place is so out dated. There is very little staff to help take care of the residents. The residents are the ones who suffer with the low staff ratios.

This place is very dissappointing. I was there to see my grandmother and it stank terribly from the time you walked in the front doors. Her bathroom was dirty as well as some other areas. Very minimal activities for the patient. Not anywhere I would ever want to be.
