    Spotless facility, warm staff, inconsistent

    I placed my mother here and loved the brand-new, spotless building, bright rooms, on-site nursing/PT, friendly staff and lively activities - it felt like home and gave us real peace of mind. However, staffing shortages and spotty communication were a concern: slow call-button/pendant responses, missed therapy/assistance, and high fees meant I had to constantly advocate. Overall the caregivers are warm and capable, but be prepared to watch for staffing/transparency issues.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is highly mixed, with a large number of families describing warm, attentive, faith-centered care in a bright, new facility, while a smaller but significant cluster of reviews report severe lapses in clinical care, transparency, and management practices. Many reviewers emphasize that the building is new, clean, attractively furnished and landscaped, and that daily life includes robust activities, a chapel and salon, and an engaged wellness team. Multiple families report on-site nursing and therapy services, personalized care plans, good food and an accommodating kitchen, and professional, affectionate staff who treat care as a ministry. Those positive reviews frequently describe tangible benefits — improved mobility, better nutrition for some residents, meaningful social engagement, and overall peace of mind for families. The Christian mission and family-like atmosphere are repeatedly noted as strong positives and are central to many residents' satisfaction.

    However, the negative reports raise serious clinical and safety concerns that cannot be overlooked. Several reviews allege neglectful care: disabled call buttons after use, long or delayed responses to pendants, understaffing (one review cited a 1:17 ratio), denied toileting and shower assistance, residents left alone during meals, missed physical therapy sessions, and instances leading to dehydration, malnutrition, hospitalization, and even death. There are explicit allegations of medication errors involving high-risk drugs such as insulin and blood thinners. These kinds of clinical lapses — missed meds, missed therapy, and delayed emergency response — are recurring themes in the negative feedback and represent substantive risk factors for frail residents.

    Facility cleanliness and infection control are another area of polarized experience. Many reviewers praise the spotlessness of the new building and the quality of housekeeping; others cite troubling conditions in memory care (bad smells, wet diapers, and in one account bedbugs). Alongside cleanliness concerns are accusations of lack of transparency and misrepresentation — families reporting that tours were deceptive or that leadership minimized problems. A few reviews go further, alleging property misappropriation and describing executives as primarily money-focused, with hostile or unprofessional management behavior. Specific staff or managers are named in some negative accounts, suggesting inconsistent leadership experiences across families.

    Activities, dining, and social programming are generally strengths. Pre-COVID events like wine tastings and painting, and post-COVID creative offerings like hot cider tastings or talent contests, manicure Mondays, chapel services, and smaller memory-care activities are frequently cited positively. Multiple reviewers highlight an involved Wellness Director and activity staff who keep residents mentally and socially engaged. Dining receives mostly positive mentions (excellent meals, menu variety, dietary accommodations), although a minority voiced food-related complaints and concerns about additional charges.

    Management and communication emerge as a split theme: numerous reviews praise a warm, proactive administrator who listens and resolves issues, with good staff-family communication and regular updates. Conversely, other reviews describe management as unprofessional, backstabbing, or unwilling to resolve complaints; some families say they had to involve the state. There are also mentions of inconsistent staffing as occupancy rises — several reviewers noted staffing was improving as the community filled, while others still experienced long waits and insufficient oversight. COVID-era transparency and visitation policies were noted as problematic by a few reviewers.

    Patterns and practical takeaways from these reviews: the facility appears to have many genuine strengths — new physical plant, active programming, faith-based culture, and many caring frontline staff who create a home-like atmosphere. At the same time, there are serious, repeated, and specific allegations around clinical care lapses (medication errors, missed therapies), safety systems (pendant and call-button responsiveness), staffing adequacy, memory-care cleanliness, and management transparency. The reviews suggest substantial variability in resident experience depending on unit, staff on duty, and possibly changes in management or occupancy levels. Prospective families should weigh the strong positive testimonials of compassionate care and programming against the documented clinical and safety concerns; when investigating, they may want to ask for recent state inspection reports, details on medication administration protocols, staffing ratios by shift and unit, incident/complaint histories, infection-control policies, memory care staffing and supervision, and written answers about any allegations they encounter. This nuanced picture indicates that while many residents and families are very satisfied, there are nontrivial risks and reported failures that merit careful, specific follow-up before placement.
