“Very uplifting and my niece says she is getting the best care and she is enjoying her stay. The staff is very pleasant.”

★Robert GRIESEL · 2026-05-19 · via Google

“Worst place ever, do not care about veterans at all will not work with the VA what so ever. They destroyed a 3k power chair. PT totally sucks. Dad a navy vet, totally hated there. The family still gets bills for his meds while he was there til he died there of a broken heart and total mis treatment. Would not put a love one there.”

★Eileen Piper · 2026-02-28 · via Google

“Very poor care. No one comes in to check on you. When you press the call button it takes 40 or more minutes to respond. When you need to use the bathroom that’s a long time. They give you pills that you don’t need, aides don’t know how to use the gate belt. Food is always cold and not nutritious. Would not recommend this place to anyone.”
