Do NOT send your loved ones here if you value their health and well-being. The images on their Google profile are blatantly misleading and do not reflect the facility’s actual condition, which is shockingly filthy, neglected, and run-down. I can’t imagine where they got those pictures, as the reality is truly appalling. The entire place reeks of urine and waste, the rooms are dirty, and staff routinely ignore residents’ pleas to contact family members. My mother’s health rapidly declined under their so-called ‘care,’ culminating in a severe blood infection caused by an untreated UTI and E. coli. The infection became so advanced that she was left unresponsive, unable to move or speak. If we hadn’t intervened in time, she would not have survived another day. They not only failed to provide basic medical attention but also seem to overmedicate residents to keep them subdued, sparing themselves the effort of proper care. Please, if you’re considering this facility, take the time to visit and witness the lack of cleanliness, compassion, and basic human decency firsthand. This place should not be allowed to operate. For the safety and dignity of your loved one, stay far away—they deserve so much better.
