    Great caregiving, concerning managerial issues

    I liked the owner and felt my mom was genuinely made to feel at home - staff were supportive, caring, welcomed family before/after hours, addressed memory issues and fall risk, managed meds well, and leadership (Cristina Wilson) and many caregivers were among the very best. However, I became concerned about management honesty and the facility's finances: I learned the home is scheduled to close amid cash-flow worries and I heard reports (which I could not independently verify) about insurance misrepresentation, bad checks, and other citation/fraud issues involving staff (including a person named Eric). Because of those administrative red flags, I strongly advise prospective families to research citations, ask about finances/insurance, and confirm everything before deciding. Overall: excellent hands-on care for my mom, but serious managerial concerns to investigate.
