    Severely understaffed, neglect and abuse

    I lived/visited here and I can't recommend it. The building, dining room and one‑bed units were clean and closets nice, but the place is severely understaffed (night shift had one aide for ~25 residents) and many aides seemed untrained. I witnessed hygiene neglect, leaks, bedsores, missed/wrong medications, frequent falls and fractures often not properly reported, and unresponsive doctors/administration; there were even abuse/mistreatment concerns. Food and nutrition were poor (Hawaiian Punch served instead of proper options); only one staff member stood out as attentive. Overall I felt unsafe and uncared for.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews is strongly negative, with a recurring pattern of serious care and safety concerns counterbalanced by a few specific notes of cleanliness and individual staff members who are attentive. Multiple reviewers highlight systemic problems that affect resident wellbeing — primarily understaffing, inadequate training, care lapses, and poor administrative responsiveness. While some physical aspects of the facility (clean dining area, tidy one-bedroom units, and storage/closet quality) are praised, these positives are overshadowed by repeated reports of incidents and neglect.

    Care quality and resident safety are the most frequently cited problems. Reviews report many falls and fractures among residents, with allegations that falls are not properly reported and handled. There are also accounts of medication mistakes (residents given wrong medications) and neglect resulting in bedsores and hygiene failures. Several reviews specifically mention untrained aides and low supervision levels; one stark claim describes a night shift staffed by a single aide responsible for roughly 25 residents, which reviewers link to increased risk of missed care, falls, and delayed responses to resident needs. Allegations of abuse and mistreatment appear in multiple summaries, intensifying concerns about resident safety and the facility’s ability to protect vulnerable people.

    Staffing, training, and management themes are tightly connected in the reviews. Understaffing and low pay are repeatedly cited and are described as contributing to low morale and inadequate care. Reviewers portray administration as uncaring or unresponsive, and some say there is a lack of effective regulation or oversight. Several reviewers note that doctors are unresponsive or not sufficiently involved, compounding medical oversight problems. The combination of underpaid, undertrained staff and perceived administrative indifference is presented as a central driver of many of the other issues documented.

    Dining, nutrition, and facilities receive mixed feedback. On the negative side, reviewers mention poor food quality and an inappropriate menu for elderly residents (one review specifically references Hawaiian Punch as an example of unsuitable beverage choices). Nutrition and menu planning are flagged as inadequate for older adults. On the positive side, multiple reviewers comment that the dining area is clean, and private one-bedroom units are clean and organized with nice closets. However, facility maintenance issues such as leaks are also reported, indicating inconsistent upkeep despite pockets of cleanliness.

    Management, reporting, and accountability are notable weak points in the reviews. Several entries allege incidents (falls, medication errors, neglect) were not properly reported or addressed, and reviewers describe an overall lack of regulation and low supervision. The administrator is characterized by some as uncaring, and there are reports that staff training and accountability mechanisms are insufficient. These governance failures are a recurring theme and are linked by reviewers to the facility’s safety and quality shortfalls.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a picture of a facility that can present well in terms of cleanliness in certain areas and can include compassionate individual employees, but that appears to have systemic staffing, training, safety, and management failures that have led to serious resident harms in reviewers’ accounts. The most significant red flags are repeated reports of falls and fractures, medication errors, neglect (including bedsores and hygiene lapses), alleged abuse, and an apparent lack of timely, effective administrative response. For prospective residents or family members, these patterns suggest a need for close scrutiny — verifying staffing ratios (especially at night), training and certification of aides, incident and medication error logs, nutrition and menu adequacy for seniors, maintenance records, and the facility’s policies for reporting and responding to incidents. The presence of clean dining spaces and tidy individual units and a few caring staff members are positives, but they do not, according to reviewers, offset the pervasive and serious concerns about safety and quality of care.
