    Caring staff but serious drawbacks

    I placed my mother in this small, family-run home (4 residents) and liked the wonderful, caring staff, clean, home-like setting, fenced pool with a walking path, and that daily visits were allowed - it often felt like family. It's the least expensive ($2,000/mo) and I'm grateful for the kindness, but the European-style food was a problem (my mother could barely eat), one caregiver was hard to understand, another was often absent, and the house sometimes didn't smell good. Despite the positives, I would not recommend.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but leans positive, with multiple reviewers praising the quality of care, the family-like atmosphere, and the small scale of the facility. Several people describe excellent, attentive care and say residents are well taken care of and treated like family. Words such as "wonderful staff," "felt like family," and expressions of gratitude appear in multiple summaries. The property is described as clean by some reviewers and is noted for having a home-like environment, separate patient areas, and a very small capacity (four residents), which suggests a highly personalized level of attention.

    Staffing and interpersonal factors are a strong positive theme for many reviewers: owners are characterized as nice and friendly, the operation is family-run, and staff are repeatedly called wonderful. The small resident count and daily-visit allowance are cited as benefits that contribute to a home-like feel and regular family interaction. However, there are notable staffing and communication concerns reported by at least one reviewer: an elderly caregiver's accent made communication difficult for that reviewer, and a second caregiver was reported to be absent in one instance, indicating some inconsistency in staff coverage or communication quality.

    Facility and amenities receive mixed remarks. Positive notes include a fenced swimming pool and a walking path, features that support light outdoor activity and mobility. The small size and separate patient area are highlighted as advantages for privacy and individualized care. At the same time, there is at least one complaint about odor despite other reviewers calling the house clean, signaling inconsistency in perceived cleanliness or intermittent maintenance/ventilation issues that prospective families should verify in person.

    Dining quality is another area of divergence. Some reviewers praised the food and specifically mentioned European-style cooking; others explicitly complained that the food was poor enough that a resident "could barely eat." This split suggests variability in menu appeal, portioning, or accommodation of individual dietary needs and preferences. Prospective residents with specific dietary requirements or strong preferences should clarify meal options and sample food where possible.

    Price and value stand out as clear positives in the reviews: the facility is described as the least expensive option cited at $2000/month, which may make it attractive for families seeking lower-cost, small-home care. Several reviewers felt the combination of care, small scale, and price represented good value. Conversely, at least one reviewer concluded they would not recommend the facility, indicating that experiences can differ substantially between families.

    In sum, the dominant patterns are strong personal care and a family-run, intimate setting with helpful owners and staff, balanced against isolated but meaningful concerns about food, occasional odors, language barriers, and staffing consistency. The facility may be a very good fit for those seeking an affordable, small, home-like environment with daily visiting and outdoor amenities, but interested parties should investigate current staffing patterns, sample meals, and check cleanliness/odor in person to ensure the environment meets their expectations.
