    Neglectful care, late insulin, billing

    I was drawn to the renovated, homey interior and some amazing caregivers, but my experience was disappointing. Insulin was often given late, residents were left in feces and not bathed, PT scheduling was unpredictable, and many staff were unfriendly. The new parking lot is heartbreaking, they demanded upfront payment and refunds were delayed and disputed - I no longer consider this place reputable.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is sharply mixed, with some reviewers praising facility updates and individual caregivers while others report serious and potentially dangerous care failures and administrative problems. The positive comments focus on physical improvements and a warm atmosphere, and some reviewers explicitly call out "amazing caregivers" and a "great team." In contrast, the negative comments describe pronounced lapses in clinical care, personal hygiene assistance, and business practices, leading to strong warnings about the facility's reputation.

    Care quality is the most significant and polarizing theme. Several reviews allege very poor clinical attention, including life-impacting issues such as insulin not being administered on time. There are also multiple mentions of neglect around basic personal care: residents reportedly being left in feces and not receiving baths. One reviewer characterized the situation as "heartbreaking," which underscores the emotional severity of these complaints. These statements indicate potential failures in medication administration protocols, continence care, and daily hygiene routines. At the same time, other reviewers described caregivers as "amazing," suggesting that care quality may be inconsistent — possibly varying by shift, individual caregiver, or unit. This pattern of contradictory reports points to uneven standards or lapses in oversight rather than uniformly high or low levels of care.

    Staff-related themes echo this inconsistency. Positive notes about a "great team" coexist with allegations of unfriendly staff and "sketchy care." This suggests variability in staff behavior, interpersonal skills, and professionalism. The presence of caregivers singled out for praise indicates strengths that the facility can build on, but the negative reports raise concerns about staff training, supervision, and culture. Physical therapy operations were also criticized for unpredictable scheduling, which could affect rehabilitation outcomes and family trust. Unpredictable PT scheduling may reflect administrative or staffing shortfalls that impact residents' access to needed services.

    Facility and environment feedback is largely positive. Reviewers mention a renovated interior and a new parking lot, and describe the overall atmosphere as "homey." These improvements are tangible assets that can enhance comfort, accessibility, and first impressions for families and residents. Such upgrades are important when evaluating the physical environment, but they do not mitigate reported problems with clinical care and operations.

    Management and business practices draw consistent concern. Reviews mention upfront payment requirements and significant difficulties obtaining refunds, including delays and disputes. These financial and contractual complaints contribute to statements that the facility is "not reputable." Administrative issues like contested refunds and rigid payment policies can erode trust even if some aspects of care and the physical environment are adequate. Together with reports of inconsistent care, these business practice complaints form a pattern that prospective residents and their families should investigate closely.

    Dining and activities are not discussed in the provided reviews, so there is insufficient information to evaluate those areas. The absence of commentary on meals and recreational programming means no conclusions can be drawn from these summaries about social or nutritional offerings.

    In conclusion, the reviews present a conflicted picture: the physical plant and certain staff members receive praise, while serious allegations about medication errors, hygiene neglect, unpredictable therapy scheduling, unfriendly or sketchy staff behavior, and problematic financial practices raise red flags. The most urgent concerns are the reported clinical lapses (late insulin, being left in feces, lack of bathing) because they directly affect resident health and dignity. Prospective residents and families should conduct careful, targeted due diligence: visit multiple times including evenings and weekends, ask for detailed care protocols (medication administration, continence care, bathing schedules), request references from current families, review contract and refund policies in writing, and confirm PT scheduling practices. If possible, monitor staff consistency and response times during trial stays or short-term admissions to assess whether positive reports about caregivers are representative or if the negative patterns recur.
