    Broken promises, neglect, unsafe care

    I chose this place because the home seemed lovely and staff initially appeared stable, but my experience was disappointing. Promises from the owner were repeatedly broken, staffing was chronically insufficient (aides absent or on phones, one night aide), and that neglect led to falls, delayed doctor visits, serious bedsores/infections and even a generator failure during a hurricane. Activities were minimal, the owner was often absent, fees rose after budget talks, and my mother improved after I moved her home. I do not recommend this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is mixed but leans toward concern because of several serious safety and management issues reported alongside some clearly positive aspects. Positive reports emphasize a warm, home-like environment with home-cooked meals, occasional live entertainment, long-tenured staff, and an organized, pleasant setting that was a good fit for some residents. Those positive comments describe helpful placement service, staff stability (six-plus years), and residents who appear happy when caregivers arrive.

    However, several reviews raise significant and repeated red flags about quality of care, staffing levels, and management follow-through. Multiple reviewers report understaffing — examples include only one night aide and removal of day aides to cut costs — and aides not being present at all times. There are specific allegations of aides spending time on phones and neglecting patients, delayed doctor visits, and serious consequences: residents developing bedsores and infections attributed to neglect, as well as injuries and residents being dropped. These are not minor complaints; they represent safety and medical issues that directly affect resident health and well-being.

    Management and oversight are another recurring theme. Multiple reviewers complain about unkept promises from the owner or management, lack of trust, and the owner being barely present. One reviewer reported a significant operational failure during an emergency: the generator was out during a hurricane, leaving residents in the heat. Another noted a price increase after budget discussions, which contributed to dissatisfaction. Because these management concerns coincide with reports of medical neglect and staffing reductions, reviewers express decisions to move loved ones back home and explicitly say they would not recommend the facility.

    On the other hand, some accounts present a stable, well-run environment with caring, long-term staff. These positive reviews highlight that the facility can be a "perfect fit" for certain residents, with an organized home feel and staff who know the residents well. The contrast between these experiences and the negative reports suggests variability in either staffing levels over time or uneven practices among shifts/residents.

    Activities and engagement appear limited. Aside from a singer/guitar performer mentioned in one review, several reviewers noted little to no activities. This contrasts with the homelike aspects such as meals and staff rapport, but indicates a gap in programming and social stimulation for residents.

    Patterns to note from these reviews: the most serious and frequent concerns relate to staffing adequacy, direct-care quality (including reports of neglect and injuries), and management reliability. The most consistent positives are home-cooked food, long-tenured caregivers in some cases, and a homelike, organized setting that works well for some residents.

    For prospective families: these reviews warrant careful, specific follow-up before placing a loved one. Important questions to ask include current staffing ratios by shift, turnover history, how the facility documents and addresses wounds/bedsores, protocols for physician access and medical emergencies, emergency power and generator maintenance, evidence of promised services in writing, and recent state inspection reports or citations. Visit at different times of day and night, speak with multiple families if possible, and verify whether the positive reports about long-term staff stability still reflect current staffing. Given the severity of some complaints (bedsores, infections, dropped residents), confirm wound-care and infection-control procedures and insist on written care plans and guarantees where appropriate.
