    Neglectful understaffed dishonest unsafe care

    I placed my loved one here and deeply regret it. Rooms were dirty, paint and cabinets worn, beds old and in need of replacement, and the place is clearly understaffed. Medical and therapy services were unreliable-meds went missing, a TB test was done without consent, nurses couldn't answer treatment questions, and subacute trach/therapy care was inadequate-communication was poor, complaints ignored, and a delayed hospital transfer left my family member deteriorated and needing an urgent transfusion; I felt they were left to die. The front area and kitchen looked updated, but otherwise it felt profit-driven, rude, dishonest, and neglectful.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but leans toward serious concern, with multiple reports describing significant problems in clinical care, staff attitude, and facility maintenance despite some positive features. The facility is noted to offer several important services — including subacute tracheostomy care, physical and occupational therapy, private rooms, an updated front area, and a highly rated kitchen — and at least one reviewer described it as a well-rounded care facility. However, a number of reviews raise red flags about the execution and reliability of these services, and several describe situations that suggest systemic lapses in clinical oversight and responsiveness.

    Care quality and clinical responsiveness are the most frequently and most severely criticized areas. Reviews allege neglectful care, delayed hospital transfers, and deterioration of patients that were not adequately addressed; one review specifically mentions an urgent need for a blood transfusion only after transfer out of the facility and strong language that a patient was "left to die." There are also reports of medication mishandling (lost meds), a staff-administered TB test performed without consent, and nurses who could not provide satisfactory explanations about treatment. Taken together, these comments suggest inconsistent clinical protocols, possible gaps in training or supervision, and failures in emergent/acute event management. Even where specialized services exist on paper (for example, subacute trach care and therapy), reviewers warn that the practical delivery of those services may be unreliable.

    Therapy and rehabilitation services are described in conflicting terms. The facility lists physical and occupational therapy among its services, and this is also noted as a positive in some reviews. Yet other reviewers explicitly advise prospective patients not to rely on the facility for physical therapy or other services. This contradiction points to variability in service quality — some residents may receive effective therapy while others do not — and suggests the need for prospective residents or families to verify therapist credentials, typical therapist-to-patient ratios, and measurable therapy outcomes during a tour or intake meeting.

    Staff behavior, communication, and management practices are recurring concerns. Multiple reviews describe rude or unfriendly staff and supervisors, complaints that are not honored, poor phone communication with long hold times, and a perception that the facility is driven more by profit than by resident care. These problems compound clinical concerns because poor communication and dismissive management responses can delay escalation of medical issues and deter families from advocating effectively for residents. Reports that staff sometimes refuse to help with resident well-being or are dishonest further erode trust and indicate potential cultural or leadership problems that may not be easily resolved without management-level changes.

    The physical environment presents a mixed picture. On the positive side, reviewers mention private rooms and an updated front area; the kitchen/dining operation is described as "Grade A," suggesting acceptable or good food services. On the negative side, several reviews call for remodeling and maintenance: dirty rooms, walls and cabinets needing painting, old beds, and beds needing replacement. Those maintenance issues can affect resident comfort and infection control perceptions, and they may signal deferred capital improvements or understaffed housekeeping/maintenance teams.

    Patterns and notable concerns: the reviews show a pattern of serious clinical complaints paired with administrative and communication failures. Multiple reviewers described situations where complaints were not addressed and where staff or supervisors were rude or unhelpful. There are also repeated statements about understaffing, which could explain delayed responses to medical needs and inconsistent therapy or nursing care. The coexistence of advertised or visible positives (private rooms, kitchen, updated lobby, trach care capability) with reports of neglect, medication problems, and unauthorized testing suggests variability in day-to-day operations — possibly dependent on shift staffing, individual staff competence, or management attention.

    Recommendations for prospective residents and families based on these patterns: verify clinical protocols and emergency transfer policies, ask about staffing ratios for nursing and therapy (including weekend/holiday coverage), request evidence of staff training and credentials for complex services like trach care, inquire about medication management and consent policies for testing, and tour both the public areas and multiple resident rooms to assess cleanliness and furnishings. Check how the facility documents and responds to complaints and ask to speak with a current family or resident about their recent experiences. Because the reviews indicate both notable strengths (specific clinical services, private rooms, good kitchen) and serious risks (delayed transfers, alleged neglect, poor communication), careful, specific due diligence is warranted before choosing this facility.
