Cleanliness is a mixed picture
Cleanliness shows up as both a strength and a recurring concern in reviews.
Some reviews praise the building as clean and well-kept, including after changes in management. Others describe cleanliness problems with unclean areas, dirty hallways, and strong urine odors.

Care quality varies by reviewer
Reviews describe both solid skilled-nursing support and serious lapses in care.
Many reviewers say care was solidânurses and medical staff took care of patients, issues were addressed, medication providers were involved, and rehabilitation efforts helped residents recover or regain mobility. At the same time, several lower-rating reviews describe severe problems such as missed medication, delayed assistance with basics, and residents left soiled for long stretches. There are also concerns about coordination and communication, including families needing to manage care themselves after medication or staffing breakdowns.

Activities help with daily routine
Multiple reviews mention structured activities and programming.
Several reviewers bring up daily activities, including bingo, cards, dominoes, Sudoku, movie days, and gardening, and they connect this to keeping residents occupied.
