Not as advertised:
- 1 person staff at night, not two, who sleeps during their shift. They do not listen or respond to sound monitor. She was in a dead sleep everytime id arrive at night. I often had to knock for 3-5 minutes.
- Owner very upset when I wouldnt sign "mediation clause" in contracts. She outright claimed I was too young to know what I'm doing, and threatened to kick my father as a result.
- They do not offer rides to Dr. Appointments, although they advertise as doing so.
- They do not accommodate required diets. Kidney failure or diabetic, everyone gets the same meal.

Being a former employee, I would not recommend anyone staying there. The owner is in for the money and believes she is the only one right in any situations. Its a nice place but not a nice living situation. The boss pays employees under the table and doesnt pay enough. UNPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS!

Stay away from this place!! Our issues started a few months after we brought mom to this facility. The owner demanded a $2,000 increase in our monthly rate with no justification, she gave us 72 hours to pay the fee or leave!! There was no change in the level of care provided (mom was admitted at the highest care level offered) and we had a contract in place!! Being a small town with limited options we paid the increase. We had to deal with several issues while mom was there, employees that were caught stealing and were fired only to be hired back later. Another employee was caught drunk on the
