    Unsafe unsanitary negligent care facility

    I lived at this facility and I would not recommend it. I encountered bed bugs and roaches, broken floorboards and falling-apart furniture, cigarette smoke in the game room, no activities or transportation, and very poor medical care with medications missed or given wrong. Staff were often rude and unprofessional, I was accused of theft while documents and bank cards went missing, HIPAA/privacy breaches happened, and although a few staff were good, overall it felt unsafe and likely in violation of state/federal rules.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly negative, with multiple reviewers reporting serious and recurring problems. The most consistent and serious allegations involve management conduct and systemic issues: reviewers report coercion and intimidation by management, theft of residents' property and important documents (including tax papers and bank cards), repeated privacy breaches and HIPAA violations, and claims of corruption and targeted mistreatment of certain residents. Several reviews explicitly call for state or federal intervention and urge that the facility be shut down, indicating that some concerns are seen as possibly rising to the level of regulatory or legal violations.

    Care quality and clinical concerns are a major theme. Numerous reviewers describe medication errors and failures to properly administer medications, along with general statements of "very poor medical care." These are high‑risk issues for a residential care environment and are tied in the reviews to feelings of being unsafe. Some reviewers accuse staff or management of accusing residents of theft or otherwise mishandling resident concerns. While a few reviews say "some staff were good" or "staff do their job," the dominant impression is of inconsistent clinical oversight and lapses in basic healthcare responsibilities.

    Staff behavior and professionalism are frequently criticized. Reports describe rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional conduct, including staff interrupting or disconnecting residents' phone calls. At the same time, a minority of comments acknowledge individual employees who do their jobs competently or treat residents well. This bifurcation suggests variability in staff performance: isolated competent caregivers exist, but the overall culture as described by reviewers appears problematic, with managerial intimidation and staff misconduct undermining residents' trust.

    The physical environment and housekeeping are other serious problem areas in the reviews. Pest infestations (bed bugs and roaches), cigarette odors in shared spaces such as a game room, broken or deteriorating furniture (kitchen chairs falling apart), and structural issues like floor boards coming up are repeatedly mentioned. These conditions contribute to a perception of neglect and raise concerns about infection control, safety, and general livability.

    Programming, social engagement, and transportation are lacking according to many reviewers. Multiple summaries state there are no daily activities, no group therapy, and no transportation to stores. The absence of consistent activities and mobility support can significantly reduce quality of life for residents and may exacerbate behavioral tensions; reviewers also report resident drama, arguments, and occasional fights, which could reflect inadequate supervision, poor programming, or an unsafe social environment.

    Privacy and legal concerns are emphasized beyond interpersonal complaints. HIPAA and privacy violations are explicitly mentioned, along with theft of sensitive documents and allegations that management or staff engage in unethical or corrupt practices. Phone interference (interrupting or disconnecting calls) is another example reviewers use to illustrate breaches of residents' rights and autonomy. Collectively these reports suggest systemic failures in policy adherence, resident protection, and documentation security.

    Although a few reviewers temper their criticism by saying the facility is "not a bad facility" or "better than many facilities," these positive notes are sparse relative to the volume and severity of negative comments. The overall pattern is of an institution with serious management and compliance issues, inconsistent and sometimes negligent care, substandard physical conditions, and inadequate programming and resident support. Given the nature of the allegations—medication errors, theft of financial and legal documents, privacy/HIPAA violations, and pest infestations—these reviews express concerns that would reasonably prompt a closer look by regulators, ombudsmen, or prospective residents and families considering this facility.
