Staff care is a mixed signal
Residents describe caring, attentive staff alongside some serious care concerns.

Cleanliness and upkeep come up often
Reviews mention both very clean conditions and serious uncleanliness issues.
Some reviewers describe the building as clean, with rooms cleaned daily or the facility consistently kept up. Others report the opposite, including accounts of a dirty or filthy facility, unkempt grounds, rats in the basement, and items left on floors. Several negative reviews also pair condition complaints with concerns about residents being left in soiled conditions. The cleanliness picture is inconsistent across reviews.

Food quality varies by review
Food is a frequent point of both praise and complaint.
A number of residents and families say meals were good, with at least one review calling the food delicious and another saying it was always a “second choice.†Other reviews sharply criticize food, describing it as disgusting, cold, soggy, or unidentifiable, and some say residents ate little. There are also comments about meals not being handled as expected for diabetes needs. Across reviews, dining quality and temperature are a clear theme.

Billing and management disputes
Multiple reviews raise concerns about billing and management responsiveness.
Several reviews focus on financial and administrative problems, including claims of overbilling and ongoing bills long after a death. Others describe failure to handle Medicaid paperwork in a timely way, and one reviewer says a room was billed after the resident passed away. One negative review also points to management behavior as part of the problem and says responses to concerns did not happen. These accounts tend to describe both cost issues and a lack of follow-through.

Short staffing is cited as a problem
Reviews cite staffing shortages that affected timely help.
Some reviewers say help was delayed, describing situations where residents had to wait too long for assistance. Multiple comments also describe understaffing, including one that gives a ratio concern, and another that says the facility was short staffed. A separate account criticizes long waits that resulted in accidents, along with broken equipment issues during the same experience. Taken together, staffing availability is one of the clearest negative themes.

Therapy and rehab support
Rehab experiences include both strong therapy praise and hard-to-deliver care complaints.
Positive reviews mention occupational and physical therapy that helped residents learn and do things, with at least one family describing improvement from a brain injury. Others describe therapy and skilled nursing as the reason they moved someone in, but still report failures in follow-through and care needs. At least one reviewer also says therapy care plans were adjusted to meet individual needs. Overall, therapy support shows up as a key part of the experience, with outcomes depending on the account.
