    Good care, serious safety concerns

    I stayed here and found a clean, well-maintained, single-story facility with a separate dementia unit, strong therapy programs, engaging activities, friendly/caring staff, 24/7 nurses, and generally good home-cooked meals and reliable transport. However, I experienced serious lapses - missed and wrong medications (including a wrong diabetes shot), poor communication with families/POA, inconsistent staff quality across shifts, delayed or inadequate personal care, and some transport/safety and laundry/cleanliness issues. Overall the team can be excellent, but because of the safety and communication concerns I can only recommend it cautiously and advise confirming medication, care, and transport protocols up front.
