“We are so happy here. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is five star quality and the facility is top notch. I don't think you could find a better place to spend your senior years. We love it here!!”

★Lisa Baker · 2025-09-23 · via Google

“Complete & utter neglect of a dear friend. Had we not pushed for him to go to the hospital, he wouldn't be here! It's a shame that he was allowed to fall into such bad shape from lack of proper care. By the time he got to the hospital, he had pneumonia, DKEA, respiratory distress and more fractures than he went in with. He's been diabetic for decades and they were not even giving him his insulin…”

★Krista Schneider · 2025-01-13 · via Google

“What a complete disgrace! Honestly, I wouldn’t put your loved one here. My grandmother was there for a little over 6 months before she passed in there and the bull crap this facility put my family through is mind blowing. The nurses don’t care about their patients and it really shows. Everything is just a facade. If you love your family you’ll find somewhere else to take them.”
