Once again they take post down that is the truth about this facility they know if the negativity gets around about this place no 1 will take their loved ones there or wanna be employed there.!They have about 50 residents due to family members taking family members to other places with good patient care.. They took other post down cause the truth hurts They walked other business person out for stealing money from residents & now have a ex convict fresh out of prison with no degree running the business office so becareful where you take your loved ones. Do not do back ground checks on employees only facility I know that will hire any one to have staff so sad
This is a nice little building with easy access to the highway and other areas of the city. The staff genuinely cares for the residents and it's a pleasure to visit & work with this building
Love the management team and nursing staff! Great facility.
The overall management & staff are dedicated to caring for the residents who reside at the facility. Kris Basile, DOR & therapy team is A-1 & the best by far.
Be very careful of this facility if your family member is a self pay.Sherry Skinner
