From the first day the staff stole straight from my mother's suitcase! If your loved one has dementia, Alzheimer's disease this is not the place for them. They have no training on how to handle situations. My mother was left in her wheel chair by herself for over 20 min had I not come in at that exact moment she would have fallen out and most likely would have broken a bone! Nurse on the 2nd floor likes to yell at families who are there looking after there loved ones . Management is useless!!!

My Mom has had a great experience so far. I appreciate the staff and the care they provide for my mom on a daily basis. It’s clean, beautiful grounds and a comforting atmosphere.
