    Friendly staff but fatal neglect

    I have mixed feelings. Many nurses, therapists and staff were friendly, responsive and communicative; the building was clean, meals and meds were generally well managed, the social worker was helpful and activities plentiful. However management was often unhelpful, staff could be unprofessional or slow to respond, belongings went missing, there were odor/fruit-fly problems, and I experienced serious neglect (bedsores, dehydration, overmedication and a hospitalization - my mom died); I cannot recommend this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is highly mixed and polarized, with a clear split between multiple accounts of attentive, communicative care and several severe allegations of neglect and mismanagement. Recurring positive themes include nurses who keep families informed, staff who respond promptly to falls and incidents, a clean environment in many reports, a variety of activities and social events, and an ability to accommodate particular dietary preferences. Conversely, multiple reviewers describe significant deficiencies: alleged neglect resulting in bedsores and dehydration, slow or absent responses to basic needs, unprofessional behavior from some aides, and missing personal items.

    Care quality appears inconsistent. Many reviewers explicitly praise nurses for good communication, medication management, and proactive updates following incidents. Several accounts describe a family-like atmosphere, timely fall response, on-time service, and staff who go out of their way to accommodate residents (for example, adjusting meals for picky eaters and keeping family updated). However, an equally strong set of reviews reports dangerous lapses: residents developing bedsores, dehydration from lack of water, alleged overmedication or sedation, and transfers to hospitals due to inadequate on-site care. These conflicting reports suggest variability in the standard of care that may depend on staff on duty, unit, or specific circumstances.

    Staff professionalism and behavior are another major area of divergence. Some reviews state staff are friendly, attentive, and helpful — with social workers and certain employees singled out for praise. Others report nursing aides with poor attitudes, staff being distracted on phones when assistance is needed, and general unprofessional conduct. Several reviews mention instances where basic care practices failed (e.g., clothes not changed after incontinence), which points to lapses in day-to-day caregiving and dignity-related issues for residents.

    Facility conditions and safety show mixed feedback. Many reviewers describe the building as very clean and smelling pleasant, with secure doors and good therapy services. At the same time, there are complaints about odors (including urine), fruit flies in rooms, and at least one reviewer describing the facility as outdated. Security and handling of personal belongings are inconsistent in reviewers' experiences: while some families report items remaining secure and staff being careful, others report lost cell phones and missing jewelry and express concern about poor protocols for possessions.

    Dining and activities are generally a positive highlight for some residents: meals are described as good, presentable, and adaptable, with regular activities, holiday decorations, and community involvement like clothing donations. However, other reviews criticize the meals as not nutritious or disliked by certain residents, indicating variability in food quality or menu options.

    Management and administration receive highly conflicting evaluations. A number of families praise proactive communication — nurses and administrators calling personally — and highlight a helpful social worker. Yet there are also strong complaints that management was unhelpful or "clueless," with some reviewers explicitly calling for the facility to be shut down and naming the owner in allegations of extreme negligence. Reports of transfers to hospital and calls by reviewers to regulatory authorities underscore the severity of some concerns.

    Across all reviews the dominant pattern is inconsistency: many positive aspects (cleanliness, certain caring staff, activities, and some good clinical practices) coexist with serious negative reports (neglect, lapses in basic care, missing belongings, and administrative failures). This creates a polarized picture where the experience a family might have appears to depend heavily on specific staff, shifts, or units. Prospective residents and families should weigh both sets of reports, seek direct observation of care during multiple times of day, ask about staffing levels and turnover, inquire about wound and incontinence care protocols, request documentation on incident responses and hospital transfers, and clarify policies for personal belongings and medication administration before making decisions.
