    Attractive but unsafe and mismanaged

    The facility is attractive with nice, clean rooms and pleasant common areas, and many staff were caring and professional. However I experienced serious problems - an unhelpful receptionist, staff neglect and disrespect, medication mismanagement, sick staff removing masks while serving, and inconsistent/ineffective sanitation - which make me worry about safety and management. Note: it does not offer assisted living.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed with distinct positive and negative themes. Multiple reviewers praise the facility for its cleanliness, welcoming common areas, and attractive rooms, and several highlight staff who are friendly, helpful, informative, respectful, and caring. The facility is identified as offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation services (not assisted living), and some reviewers explicitly note effective pain relief and strong rehab/care experiences. The facility appearance and website ratings are described positively by some reviewers.

    However, a set of serious concerns appears repeatedly and contrasts sharply with the positive comments. Several reviewers report issues with staff behavior — including neglect, disrespect, lack of empathy, and at least one unhelpful receptionist — which suggests inconsistency in staff interactions and customer service. Medication mismanagement is explicitly mentioned, which is a significant clinical concern for a skilled nursing environment. There are also reports of poor care quality and instances where assistance that was expected or needed was not provided.

    Cleanliness and sanitation are areas of contradictory feedback. Many reviews describe the facility as very clean, with fresh smells, clean dining areas, and pleasant common spaces. Conversely, other reviews report unsanitary conditions, a pervasive stench, and ineffective sanitation. This divergence suggests variability in cleanliness across shifts, units, or time periods; some parts or times appear well-maintained while others are perceived as problematic.

    Infection control and safety concerns surface in at least one review that mentions staff who were sick and removed masks while serving elderly residents. That report raises a notable safety risk for the resident population and, combined with medication issues and reported neglect, points to potential lapses in clinical protocols, staff supervision, or enforcement of safety policies.

    Management and administrative impressions are mixed but include explicit negative feedback. A negative impression of management and the presence of an unhelpful receptionist indicate possible problems in administrative responsiveness or leadership visibility. Given the clinical concerns (medication management) and the inconsistent reports on cleanliness and staff behavior, these management criticisms are meaningful and may reflect systemic or operational gaps rather than isolated incidents.

    Patterns to note: praise tends to focus on interpersonal, observable, and environmental aspects—friendly/helpful caregivers, neat rooms, and attractive common areas—while criticisms focus on safety, clinical reliability, and inconsistent standards of care. The coexistence of strong positive comments and serious negative reports suggests variability in resident experiences; some families encounter well-run care and supportive staff, while others face lapses that could affect resident safety and well-being.

    For prospective residents and families, the reviews indicate a facility with clear strengths in rehabilitation services and certain staff members and areas, but also with red flags that warrant further inquiry. When evaluating this facility, it would be prudent to ask specific questions about medication administration protocols, infection-control policies (including mask and sick-staff policies), staffing levels and training, recent sanitation or inspection records, and how management addresses complaints. A tour that includes conversations with current residents or families and observation of multiple units and dining/service times may help clarify whether the positive aspects are consistent and whether the reported negatives have been addressed.
