    False promises, rude staff, collections

    I was promised the "best in area" but my experience was the opposite. I had a CMS billing dispute and tried repeatedly to cancel dental insurance-charges kept coming after my requests, letters were returned, and I got constant collection calls. Staff (including Rae) were unhelpful and rude, ignored calls for help, and overnight shifts were clearly understaffed, so I felt neglected. Their advertised 5-star rating is misleading.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the provided review summaries is predominantly negative, centered on administrative failures, billing disputes, and staffing/care concerns, although a few reviews reference positive markers such as CMS grades and claims that the facility is among the best in the area. The most consistent threads are problems with billing and administration and separate but related worries about staffing levels and resident care, especially at night.

    Billing and administrative issues are a clear recurring theme. Multiple reviewers describe ongoing charges after they requested cancellation of dental insurance, indicating failures in processing cancellation requests and continued billing. There are specific allegations of billing disputes and the facility or its representatives continuing to pursue or claim debt. Communication problems feed into these complaints: letters being returned to sender and phone calls about bills not resolving the situation are explicitly mentioned. A named staff member ('Rae') is singled out for inaction in at least one account, which suggests that complainants perceive individual-level administrative neglect in addition to systemic problems.

    Care quality and staffing are another central cluster of complaints. Reviewers report neglect, calls for help being ignored, and rude staff behavior. Overnight shifts are repeatedly described as an issue, with allegations of inadequate response or absence of appropriate care during nighttime hours. More broadly, several summaries express concerns about understaffing, which aligns with the reported episodes of ignored calls and perceived neglect. These patterns point to potential safety and quality-of-care risks, particularly for residents who require assistance during the night or have urgent needs.

    Communication and customer service deficiencies appear throughout the summaries and exacerbate both billing and care concerns. Returned mail and unanswered phone calls about financial matters contribute to frustration and may indicate poor administrative processes or record-keeping. Rude or unprofessional interactions with staff further damage trust and make it more difficult for families to resolve issues or feel confident in the facility’s responsiveness.

    There is also tension between external ratings or claims and the lived experiences reported in the reviews. Some reviewers reference positive signals such as CMS grades and an assertion that the facility is "best in the area," while others explicitly call out a misrepresented 5-star rating. This discrepancy suggests inconsistency between the facility’s public image or formal ratings and individual resident/family experiences, which is important context for prospective residents and families weighing reputational indicators against anecdotal reports.

    In summary, the reviews coalesce into a picture of a facility with some positive public-facing metrics but with substantial and repeated complaints about billing practices, administrative responsiveness, and staffing—particularly overnight—which together produce reports of neglect and poor communication. The named administrative inaction and returned correspondence are concrete examples of procedural breakdowns; the allegations of ongoing unauthorized charges and claims of debt are concrete financial harms cited by reviewers. Combined with reports of rude staff and ignored calls for assistance, these issues indicate systemic operational weaknesses that are regularly observed by reviewers and have led to significant dissatisfaction.
