Overall sentiment is mixed with a clear polarization between reviewers who describe Precious Care Assisted Living as a compassionate, small, home-like environment and reviewers who raise important concerns about clinical competence, supervision, and amenities. Many reviewers praise the warm interpersonal side of the facility: staff are frequently described as friendly, gentle and caring, and several accounts emphasize a family-like culture, individualized attention, and willingness to accommodate residents’ preferences. Multiple reviews highlight the small size (under 20 residents, sometimes noted as 14), which appears to enable close, familiar relationships, shared social activities like piano sing-alongs, occasional summer outings, and an openness to family visits. Some families report measurable benefits — improved mood, increased physical strength, and respectful, non-rough handling. The presence of onsite PT/OT and wheelchair accessibility are additional positives cited by reviewers.
However, there are recurring and significant concerns about care quality and operational competence. Several reviews explicitly state there are no licensed nurses on staff and raise doubts about formal elder-care training; specific allegations include staff being unable to perform basic caregiving tasks such as diapering. Multiple reviewers mention poor staff supervision, a reliance on family/friend hires, and frequent turnover. These issues are coupled with at least one strongly negative report of medication changes resulting in excessive sleepiness and another alleging theft or crook-like behavior. Such reports suggest inconsistency in clinical oversight and quality control across different stays or staff shifts.
Facility and amenities receive similarly mixed feedback. The converted house layout is comforting to some — offering a homelike, intimate environment with a large common room and screened porch — but others find the rooms small, cramped, and not well-suited to higher-dependency residents. Several reviews note small kitchens, shared bathrooms (no in-room bathrooms), and that the facility may be unsuitable for residents with frequent toileting needs. Cleanliness assessments diverge: many reviewers report the facility as neat and very clean, while a minority describe filthy bed/bath conditions. Security has been flagged as a concern by at least one reviewer who mentions a prior robbery.
Dining and activities are another area of consistent critique. Multiple reviewers describe meals as primarily processed or frozen, unbalanced, and not adapted to elderly dietary restrictions (lack of low-salt/low-fat options). While some social activities are offered (piano sessions, occasional yoga, and outings), several reviewers feel activities are limited or inconsistent, especially for lower-level residents who may receive less attention. Staffing levels are reported as adequate by some reviewers, but the quality of supervision and training is a recurrent worry.
In short, Precious Care appears to offer a warm, small-scale, family-style alternative to larger institutions that some families prefer for social and emotional reasons. At the same time, there are repeated and specific red flags about clinical oversight (no nurses on staff), caregiver training and competence, meal quality for elderly dietary needs, and uneven standards of cleanliness and security. Prospective families should weigh the value of the homelike atmosphere and individualized attention against documented concerns about clinical staffing, supervision, meal nutrition, bathroom access, and occasional reports of neglect or medication issues. If considering this facility, it would be prudent to: verify licensure and the presence/availability of licensed nursing oversight; ask for current staffing/turnover statistics and caregiver training protocols; inspect bedrooms and bathrooms in person; review menus and special-diet accommodations; and discuss emergency/security procedures before making a placement decision.
