    Severe neglect, unsafe transport, unprofessional

    One-star. I watched my loved one suffer care neglect - severe bedsores and a serious infection that required emergency care and risked death. Transport was unsafe (smoking driver, near-miss) and staff were inconsistent: new management, initially uncooperative, rude security who denied door codes, little family time, and trouble getting doctor checkups. A few friendly staff and sunny, clean areas helped at times, but ongoing filth, food neglect, address/location confusion and major safety failures mean I do not recommend this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the review summaries is highly mixed but leans toward serious concern. Some reviewers report positive experiences — clean facilities, friendly staff, residents being well cared for, and noticeable improvements after new management and new staff arrived. These positive accounts describe an improved atmosphere, using terms like 'sunshine' and 'freshness,' and credit management/staff with overcoming difficult situations. However, several reviews describe extremely serious problems with care quality and safety that outweigh the positive notes and represent major red flags for prospective residents and their families.

    Care quality is the central and most severe theme among the negative reviews. Multiple summaries allege neglect severe enough to cause bed sores and a serious infection that required emergency services; one review explicitly mentions a risk of death and ends with 'not recommended.' There are also allegations of starvation and filth, which, if accurate, indicate systemic failures in basic caregiving, nutrition, and cleanliness. These are not isolated complaints about comfort or preference — they are reports of medical harm and life-threatening conditions, and therefore are the most critical pattern emerging from the feedback.

    Staff behavior and responsiveness are described inconsistently across reviews, indicating variability in service quality. Positive comments point to friendly, attentive staff and improvements under new management. Conversely, negative comments depict rude security personnel who denied door codes and limited family access, uncooperative staff, and a culture that at times appears overwhelmed or indifferent—explicitly noted as having 'no time for family.' Difficulty obtaining doctor checkups and medical follow-ups is another recurrent concern, tying into the allegations of medical neglect; delays or barriers to physician access can materially worsen health outcomes for frail residents.

    Transportation and resident mobility are additional areas of significant concern. Several reviews describe unsafe driving by facility transport drivers, including smoking while driving and near-miss incidents that put elderly and disabled residents at risk. These reports suggest inadequate training, poor enforcement of safety policies, or unsafe staffing practices for resident transport. Given that many residents depend on facility transportation for appointments and outings, these incidents are more than a nuisance—they are potential safety hazards that require immediate attention.

    Facility conditions and logistics show a split picture. While some reviewers explicitly say the facility is clean, others allege filth and starvation, indicating either inconsistent housekeeping standards or differences in timeframes (for example, conditions improving under new management). There is also mention of incorrect address information and location confusion, which is a practical problem for families and emergency responders and reflects poorly on administrative accuracy and communication.

    Management emerges as a mixed but pivotal factor. Several positive reviews credit new management and new staff with meaningful improvements in atmosphere and care — language like 'overcame difficult situations' and references to a more positive environment suggest recent changes may be having beneficial effects. Nevertheless, the severity of the negative reports (bed sores, serious infection, starvation) suggests that either unacceptable patterns persisted for a long time before management changes or that improvements are incomplete and uneven. The coexistence of glowing and alarming reports implies variability across units, shifts, or time periods rather than a uniformly good or bad operation.

    In summary, the aggregated reviews present a facility with pronounced contradictions: some families experience cleanliness, friendly and attentive staff, and positive improvements under new leadership, while others report severe neglect, medical emergencies, safety hazards with transportation, and administrative failings. The most consequential and recurring issues are serious care failures (bed sores, infections, allegations of starvation), unsafe transport practices, access and visitation problems, and inconsistent staff responsiveness. Anyone evaluating this facility should investigate these specific areas further by asking the provider for documentation on infection control, staffing levels and training, incident/accident reports (especially transportation incidents), policies on family access and visitor codes, physician/medical appointment coordination, and recent inspection or licensing reports to verify whether the reported improvements under new management are system-wide and sustained.
