Family-run facility with unsafe staffing
I appreciated that this is a family-owned, locally run place with owners on-site, kind therapists and some very helpful nurses, decent food, activities (book club, ice cream Sundays) and wheelchair/rehab services. However staffing is chronically thin and uneven-some staff were caring, others lazy or miserable-leading to poor hydration monitoring, misdiagnoses, inappropriate med changes, lack of heart-healthy diet options, filthy/unsafe conditions and inadequate rehab. There was a COVID outbreak, hospital admissions, and alarming discharge/insurance behavior that made me pack belongings; I worry this risk contributed to a serious decline. Despite pockets of professionalism and respect, the safety and staffing issues mean I do not recommend this facility.
