“I don’t have a single complaint about this facility! The staff is amazing, caring and supportive. Therapy is top tier. They answer call lights in a timely manner. The food is really good. It’s a nice calm atmosphere. Admission coordinator works with insurance companies. You can have things from home to make your stay more comfortable. I give them 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

★Jamie Scroggins · 2026-02-18 · via Google

“Do not at any cost put your loved one in this facility. They do not care and response time for answering the call button was around 40 mins which is not acceptable. I do not care how short handed they may be stop taking on more patiens/clients if that is the case. Everyone's loved ones deserve top care not when they're able to get to you. If you dont like your job just say so and move on. My mothe…”

★★★★★Kaylie Durrant · 2026-01-15 · via Google
