Just learned by phone that this nursing home is closing down. I think they should update the website to indicate this and save potential clients time.

My loved one with early onset advanced Alzheimer's is getting great care at this facility. Staff are professional and kind. Good food and snacks are provided. The building is older but very clean and cozy. Activity staff are pleasant and available. The only issue is most staff cannot help clients walk around due to being very busy and fall risks. That is totally understandable. Family members need to do their part in quality of life enhancement.

Disappoint. Old building. Staff unfriendly. 1/5 rating for the home. Language barrier for the home. At lunchtime, the residents have 15-20 minutes to eat. Staff rushed to put the residents back to bed. The residents don’t have many activities. Hope that the staff should give love and care to their residents.
