    Run down, unclean, unsafe care

    I placed my dad here and, although the bedroom and two large dining rooms are attractive and a few caregivers (one woman in particular) were sweet and gentle, the place felt run-down and unclean. The TV room was broken, the kitchen even had masking tape on cabinets, the entrance and bathrooms need repair, and the food was poor and sometimes spoiled with unsafe handling. Staff were inept and understaffed (often one caregiver for five residents; administrator frequently absent), I found incorrect medications and had to take over meds and meals. I felt enormous pressure to decide, I won't return, and I can't recommend this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall impression from these reviews is mixed but leans toward concern. Multiple reviewers call out attractive physical elements—most notably two large, appealing dining rooms and bedrooms described as clean and attractive—but these positives are frequently outweighed by serious operational and care issues. Sentiment clusters into two broad experiences: some families praise individual caregivers and report comfort and warmth, while others describe a facility that is run down, poorly managed, and unsafe in key areas such as medication handling and food service.

    Care quality is a major dividing theme. On the positive side, reviewers repeatedly highlight several caregivers as "absolutely wonderful," warm, and comforting; one family specifically said staff provided comfort for their father and that they were happy with their decision. A female caregiver is described as sweet and gentle, and a past resident reportedly loved the place. However, these personal positives sit alongside severe negatives: medication errors and incorrect medications are explicitly reported, families had to take over administering medications and meals for their relatives, and promised health monitoring was not delivered. Understaffing is also called out (one concrete example: one caregiver responsible for five residents), which likely contributes to unreliable care and safety risks.

    Staffing and management issues recur throughout the reviews. Several comments point to an absent administrator and inept or unreliable staff behavior (including a specific incident of a male caregiver lounging on a couch). This combination of an absent leadership presence and inconsistent staff performance appears to create uneven experiences: attentive, caring direct caregivers are appreciated, but higher-level oversight and staffing levels seem insufficient to ensure consistent, safe care across the facility.

    Facilities and maintenance are another mixed area. Positive mentions include the attractive dining rooms and clean bedrooms, but multiple practical concerns are noted: the entrance needs repair, landscaping is a problem, bathrooms raise quality concerns, and a TV room is broken. Kitchen maintenance is also questioned—masking tape on cabinets was specifically mentioned—suggesting corners may be cut or repairs deferred. Reviewers describe the facility as run down and not clean in places, which conflicts with the isolated positive descriptions of dining rooms and bedrooms and suggests uneven upkeep across the campus.

    Dining and food safety emerge as a significant negative. Several reviewers report poor food quality, with at least one account of spoiled food and concerns about unsafe food handling. These are serious issues for a senior facility because they directly affect resident health and trust. Even where dining rooms look attractive, the food and kitchen practices appear to undermine that asset.

    Activities and communal spaces are minimally described but the broken TV room is a concrete negative for resident engagement. The combination of limited activities information, a broken common room, and understaffing raises concern about whether residents are receiving adequate social and recreational support.

    A concerning pattern is families feeling pressured and having to assume responsibilities. One reviewer said they were "placed under enormous pressure" to move someone who was "not ready for a Nursing Home," and other reviewers reported taking over basic care tasks like medication administration and meal provision. Promises regarding health monitoring were reportedly unfulfilled. These reports suggest systemic communication or ethical issues in admissions and care planning practices.

    In summary, prospective residents and families will find both clear strengths and notable, sometimes serious, weaknesses at this facility. Strengths concentrate on individual caregivers who provide warmth and comfort, attractive dining rooms, and clean bedrooms in some areas. The weaknesses include operational problems (absent administration, understaffing), safety and quality issues (medication errors, spoiled/unsafe food, bathroom and kitchen concerns), and maintenance/appearance problems (entrance, landscaping, broken TV room). The reviews indicate highly variable experiences: if you prioritize the possibility of compassionate individual caregivers, you may find value here, but if you require consistent management oversight, reliable medication administration, safe food practices, and well-maintained communal spaces, these reviews suggest significant risks that should be investigated further before making placement decisions.
