The building has 102 beds and offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term support, so residents stay for weeks or even years depending on their needs, and they get meals that are made to be nutritious, with dietary management for those on special diets, plus regular activities and a bright courtyard where you might watch birds and flowers, and residents get transportation help for appointments or other needs.

The facility has a history of specific deficiencies shown in inspection reports, with 50 deficiencies noted, mostly related to infection control, resident rights, not always keeping a truly safe or homelike environment, and not always having strong infection prevention plans as required by federal standards, so families considering a stay may want to review these details and ongoing quality assurance activities. Even with those challenges, staff follow policies and procedures aimed at keeping things clean and as comfortable as possible, and there's a process for ongoing quality assessment and improvement, with oversight and management by Craig Flashner, Yitzchok Perlstein, Century Healthcare Management LLC, and Prestige Administrative Services LLC. Owners include organizations like Canary Opco Group LLC and trusts with various indirect owners. The facility works with Trinity Health Plan and provides a range of medical and supportive services suited to both short and long stays, always trying to help residents feel at home, safe, and well cared for in a community setting.
