    Neglect Abuse Unsafe Dishonest Management

    I chose this place after a great tour and smooth move-in; the community is clean and initially staff seemed helpful. Unfortunately my experience soured-there are virtually no activities, meals were inconsistenly provided or refused, and nurses/meds were mishandled by staff with little medical training. My loved one was mistreated, staff yelled, and an assault required hospital/ICU care; management was uncaring, dishonest and more focused on money than safety. I would not recommend.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in these reviews is sharply mixed, with a strong polarity between reviews that describe a clean, welcoming community offering good value and activities, and reviews that allege serious care, safety, and management failures. Multiple reviewers praise the facility for an attractive, clean environment, helpful staff at move-in, informative tours, and—according to some—good food, active programming, and strong value for cost. At the same time, numerous other reviews recount troubling experiences of neglect, mistreatment, and alleged administrative misconduct.

    Care quality and resident safety are the most consequential and frequently cited concerns in the negative reviews. Reported problems include medications not being administered as prescribed, staff neglect, and general improper care. More severe incidents are described: at least one reviewer reports a resident attack on their loved one leading to hospitalization and ICU care, with law enforcement involvement. There are allegations that the facility did not act appropriately in response to mistreatment and that owners/management failed to intervene when staff misconduct occurred. These accounts indicate potential lapses in supervision, resident safety protocols, and incident response.

    Staffing and staff behavior appear highly inconsistent across reviews. Several accounts begin by noting a friendly or helpful initial impression from staff and smooth move-ins, while other reviews allege that some caregivers lack medical backgrounds, were "hired off the street," and engaged in mistreatment or yelling at residents and family members. One recurring complaint is that a particular houseparent mistreated residents yet remained employed despite complaints and relocation of affected residents. This variability suggests uneven hiring, training, or oversight practices that produce dramatically different experiences depending on which staff members families interact with.

    Management and administration are another major theme. Multiple reviewers describe management as uncaring, dishonest, or focused primarily on money, with reports of blame-shifting when problems are raised. One reviewer alleges misuse of residents' insurance cards for food, and others complain about poor communication from the owner or facility leadership. Conversely, some reviewers describe management as providing good value and being part of a positive experience—again highlighting inconsistency between families. The presence of both strong praise and strong condemnation of leadership points to uneven handling of complaints and possibly inconsistent enforcement of policies.

    Dining and activities receive mixed feedback. Several reviewers praise the food and say there are lots of activities, contributing to a positive day-to-day life for residents. Others counter that the food is "horrible," caregivers refuse to cook certain meals, or that there are effectively no activities and limited meal options. This split pattern suggests the quality and availability of dining and programming may vary by shift, unit, or time period, or between different reviewers’ expectations and needs.

    Taken together, the reviews depict a facility with the potential to offer a good environment—clean surroundings, helpful staff at times, and reasonable cost/value—but also show repeated and serious red flags about care consistency, resident safety, and management responsiveness. The most critical patterns are: (1) inconsistent staff qualifications and behavior leading to vastly different resident experiences; (2) management perceived as unresponsive or profit-focused when serious complaints arise; and (3) safety incidents that in at least one case resulted in hospitalization and legal involvement. Families considering this facility should weigh both the positive reports and the severe negative allegations, ask detailed questions about staffing, medication administration, incident history and responses, background checks, dining and activity schedules, and complaint resolution processes, and speak directly with current families and observe the community in person to assess which pattern of experience is more representative.
