The first month or so was great. Then mom's care went down hill. I was not impressed with the care manager for the 3rd floor at all. Found infections on mom that they didn't notice or just didn't care about.There was 2-3 really caring health aids, not so much for the rest of the staff. A couple of them in particular just did not like their jobs and even with mom's Dementia, she noticed. They are very lacking of knowledge, caring and patience when it comes to Dementia. It can be difficult to work with Dementia people but you have to be the right type of person to work in that environment. The two activity coordinators were fantastic! They we're very friendly and mom found them delightful too! I would however give 5 stars to the two health aids and activity coordinator's, I'm sure they brightened the day for the residents!

Fantastic place for my step father! The nurses and staff are kind and understanding. It feels like he has his little apartment for when he wants peace and quiet but just outside the door, there is plenty to do and plenty of people to engage with.

**WARNING** DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE! While some staff (Maybe 5) are caring and considerate, the rest are rude, aggressive, and incompetent. There is too much to fit into this box, but honestly steer clear from bringing your loved one to this place. They have treated my mother like absolute garbage her entire time here! Can't wait to find somewhere that will treat her with respect. From top to bottom the lack of professionalism, bedside manner, and the constant changing "Rules", gaslighting and saying it's a "miscommunication"?! it's outstanding. I really didn't think it was possible to have this bad of a facility that claims to "care" for your loved ones. My mom was sent home from the hospital with specific instructions that were to be followed by staff and there was a blatant disregard for these instructions and their negligence sent my mother back to the hospital! I've witnessed them let residence stay screaming in pain from falls, mess up medications, steal, and also worth mentioning, the food is horrible: from chunks of plastic in the food to serving molded expired food. Horrible place, stay away!
