They would not accept my father because of his disability and advanced dementia after we were already told we would be accepted. Felt like we were dealing with a used car sales person instead of a trustworthy representative of this company. Total waste of my family’s time. Would not recommend.

Once we dropped off our loved one at this facility, we were told not to come back within 4-5 days, they didn't want any contact. That evening we were expecting a call from them to see how he was doing, but we never received a phone call. That next morning we got a phone call from the staff saying he was on the floor and asked if we needed to call the EMS. He was in this facility for one day and ended up passing a week later. We didn't get a lot of information from the administrator or from the nursing staff as to why the communication was lacking. We would not recommend this facility. We do not think they were true to their promises, what they said and what they did were to completely different things.

This was our only option to put dad first. The staff do not seem to know how to care for Alzheimer's and dementia. At meal time, they are more concerned about cleaning up and being done with the meal time, than if the residents are eating or even finished. They take up the plates so fast. They only offer water and lemonade. Some of the staff would not say nice things to the residents and were mean. The staff would sit in the living area with the residents and barely interact with them. They would laugh at them, including my dad. I would never recommend this place. The only nice thing was the view from dad's room. This is a bad place.
