There's support for people with memory care needs too, and the facility uses telemedicine services. Residents celebrate birthdays and can see updates on social media, and the center tries to keep a homey feeling. There have been inspection reports showing 27 deficiencies, with some issues found recently about infection control and care planning, and there's no public information on who manages the place, but it's run by Nexion Health, Inc., which is a for-profit corporation. Admissions are open day and night for folks who need quick help, and there's an effort to keep people satisfied, safe, and as independent as possible.
