I moved my mom to assisted living here. From the very start things were rocky. Biggest issue is the call buttons/pendents DO NOT WORK on the 2nd and 3rd floor. The nurses also do not wait for the patient to take their meds. So if they drop them or set them down. They don’t get taken. My mom fell several times here but the last time she fell it was because they weren’t giving her the medication that was on the list from the day I moved her in, and they tried to blame me because I picked up enough pills to get her through the weekend when I first moved her in. It’s dirty, everywhere. Her apartment was dirty when we moved in. Shaunna does not listen to what you say. She lays blame instead. I wouldn’t move my dog in here. It’s terrible. I will say the nursing staff was nice, that’s about all that was good. My advice…. Stay away.
