Pete Slauson★★★★★ 2 months agoAs we drove in, there was a fight going on in the parking lot. I checked in and felt uncomfortable in seconds and left in 4 hours. Felt like the place was over packed with people. They never served me dinner. Staff would start interview, go away and come back saying "oh, here's where I left this". I felt no confidence in manager/admit person. Hall outside of my small room was party central. Noise level extreme. Bed was the cheapest and was unable to elevate my feet above my head. I have leg problems and must have feet up.

Money Maker★★★★★ 3 months agoI can not get hold of nurses station to save my life. My father is here and I would like some info. I have been trying for almost a month. Phones just ring and ring. The front desk says they leave notes. I have left messages on head nurse machines. No call back. I probably won't know if my father passes away. I would really like a call back by somebody. I'm thinking of calling BBB on these slackers.

Lynn Stone★★★★★ a year agoWhat a pathetic facility. The staff are so permissive with their nasty attitudes. The facility is overcrowded and looks like a funny farm with patients wandering around the halls, drooling, screaming, and even crying. The showers look like they were inspired by the Nazis. The halls reek of urine from improper cleanup of patients. The employees ignore the calls from dejected patients. The employees have been standing around in the halls, chatting, using their cell phones while ongoing cries for help ring through the halls non-stop. The employees barely speak English. It baffles me to see such people getting jobs in health care. There are numerous issues regarding medications and issues regarding the lack of communication with insurance companies. Would you trust your loved one in a facility that doesn't even have a website? Read all of the reviews before making the stupid decision to send your loved one to this nuthouse where inconsiderate "health aids" are supposed to care for them.

Types of Problems at Nursing Homes
Some issues within a nursing home are much more severe than others. Medicare evaluates each problem based on 2 scales: the number of residents affected by a problem and the severity of the potential or actual harm to residents based on the problem. We have color coded the matrix below to make it easier to pick out the more severe problems. In general, orange and red issues related to the treatment of a resident are considered substandard quality of care.
| Residents Affected | |||
| Severity of the Deficiency | Few | Some | Many |

| Actual harm that is not immediate jeopardy | G | H | I |
| No actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy | D | E | F |
