Understaffed unsanitary unresponsive unsafe facility
I would not recommend this facility. A few staff were kind, but overall it was severely understaffed, unorganized, and unresponsive - ignored call buttons, nurses hard to find, head nurse rude and doctor rarely there. I saw poor hygiene and infection issues (dry/tearing skin, pneumonia), infrequent bathing, foul odors, hot rooms, no water/ice, mishandled oxygen and fall risks from narrow beds with no rails. Communication, discharge paperwork and billing/Medicare were chaotic, visits were restricted/denied, and I filed abuse and health-department complaints. I won't return - strong warning to avoid.
