Staff care is a major theme
Residents and families frequently describe attentive, caring staff.
Many reviewers say nurses, CNAs, and other team members take residents’ needs seriously and make them feel supported day to day. A number of families also mention communication and professionalism, including feeling included in the care process even when traveling from out of town. Several reviews also include compliments across departments, from rehab and dietary to housekeeping and maintenance, reinforcing the idea that care is coordinated. That said, a smaller set of reviews describes the experience very differently, calling out rudeness and poor treatment.

Rehab and therapy get praise
Rehab experiences are often described as effective and encouraging.
Multiple reviewers mention that therapy helped with recovery goals after surgery or a difficult medical episode. Several describe the rehab team as knowledgeable and patient, with physical and occupational therapy singled out by name. Families also describe confidence in the care plan during longer stays, including repeat use when another facility stay became necessary. One review also contrasts by saying only rehab staff and the social worker offered customer service, while other departments fell short.

Cleanliness shows up in reviews
Residents and families repeatedly mention the facility is kept clean.

Some reviews criticize staff behavior
A minority of reviews report rude or neglectful staff treatment.
Several negative reviews say staff were rude and mean, and one reviewer claims residents’ personal items were taken in a way that limited family contact. There are also accounts of safety and care concerns, including an allegation that a resident fell and suffered a serious injury. These complaints appear alongside the broader set of positive reports, so experience may vary by situation or unit.

Activities staff can accommodate requests
Activities staff are described as responsive to resident requests.
Two reviews mention the activities team by name, including one case where activities staff responded professionally to a family request for a federally registered service dog to visit. Another review references an activities director as part of a broader “friendly and caring” team. Together, these comments suggest activities support can be attentive when families advocate for resident preferences.
