Community Reviews
Improvement Possible
reviewed on: 07/15/2015 by AnonymousFirst, the community does NOT accept cats. They need to update this on their site. Activities could be more frequent and varied. There has to be more than arm chair exercises. They should focus on getting residents up and moving, being engaged in life, etc. A limited number of residents can go to Walmart, they must sign up and hope there is room for them on the bus. Tablecloths are not on the table during meal times. Tablecloths appear on their website. Pictures should reflect actual conditions. They need a bookmobile to visit regularly. Activities should be a priority. Shower curtains could be replaced more frequently. When they are filthy, they need to be washed or replaced. There has been some aggressive residents that put others at risk of harm. The staff do seem to address these matters swiftly after an incident has occurred. Men approaching women inappropriately also has occurred. Some male residents feel compelled to place their hands on female residents bodies without consent. I do not know if the women are guilty of the same.
My experience...
reviewed on: 04/20/2017 by AnonymousThey had some issues with too much salt in the food.They had a meeting and that has since been resolved. The reason I rated them a four is they are replacing the hallway carpet in the facility and they asked the residents to leave for the day. My mother is 84 and it was a really big inconvenience for me to leave work early to stay with her so she wouldn't be alone. When I dropped her off at 4 they still hadn't finished replacing the carpet in her section.
Very impressed w/ facility.

Robbery and Limited Activities
reviewed on: 02/04/2018 by DissatisfiedThere appears to be thieves at work here. My mother has had money, jewelry, and gift cards taken from her room. This is not a one time event, but has occurred at least three times. Activities are limited. They don't have enough activities nor do they have enough trips to get the seniors out and about in the community.
