Therapy is foundational to the health, functionality, and quality of life of the residents of nursing homes. This facility has amazing physical therapists, but I want to draw attention to the Director of Therapeutic Recreation, Ania Mcdaniel. Her activities elevate daily living beyond just medical care. She cares deeply for all of the residents, even visiting some of the people she had interacted with for years after they had been discharged. She is one of the most compassionate and diligent people I have ever met, which is what makes her perfect for overseeing a department focused on supporting emotional well-being and encouraging cognitive engagement and social participation. I encourage any current resident or someone considering becoming one to get to know Ania.

Food from menu not accurate 50 percent of time. Trouble getting medical assistance. Very frustrating. Third day in a row wrong food. Photocopied menu and showed worker. She ignored me and said, "Well, you are on a soft diet." What has that got to delivering the wrong food? Woken nightly numerous times to attend to resident whose husband and daughter work there. Screams and hollars until she gets attention disturbing others.
Our experience with all of the staff has been very positive. They have taken very good care of our loved one. The facility is old and could use some TLC, but it is clean.
There is alot of negative reviews on here about a single person which will be dealt with.however. I will say that this should not be the review of everyone. Every single person from the administration to contractors strives to make this facility a better place for everyone in this building. We are doing our best to serve and create the best possible home and Healthcare for those that are here regardless of whether they are long term or short term residents.
The woman in charge of activities- Ania McDaniels- isn't of sound mind. She purposely upsets the patients she doesn't like. I watched her antagonize another patient while visiting as I stood in the hallway. A couple trips later, a very similar sad and scary scenario was witnessed. She also talks down to staff and seems to do nothing. An assistant wanted to help a patient asking for something one day and Ania told them, "Do not bother with them. They always want something." We moved my mother after we talked to another family with bad experiences there. Please be careful who you trust your loved ones with. Wolf in sheep's clothing are volatile and out right dangerous. A lot of elderly people don't have a voice. Be their voice.
