    Compassionate staff but management issues

    I placed my dad here and have been impressed by the compassionate, family-like staff, clean homelike environment, engaging activities, fresh meals and strong safety protocols (fast virtual assessments and family Zooms helped a lot). My only real concerns were a pest infestation and slow, dismissive management/leasing response - great frontline care overall, but verify pest control and management responsiveness.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews for Miller Farm Place is strongly positive about the caregiving staff and the day-to-day resident experience, with repeatedly mentioned strengths around compassion, attentiveness, and community. Many reviewers emphasize that staff treat residents like family, citing specific positive interactions (for example, an attentive staff member named Jane) and describing staff as highly committed and helpful during crises. Multiple accounts note improvements in residents' mood and quality of life after moving in, with frequent references to abundant activities, rehabilitative support, and an environment that feels homelike, cozy, and welcoming.

    Operationally, reviewers commonly praise organized procedures and safety protocols. Several families appreciated efficient virtual onboarding — fast Zoom assessments and virtual tours — and ongoing communication, including family Zoom calls with residents. Practical move-in supports such as furnished rooms and assistance sanitizing belongings were highlighted positively. Dining receives favorable mentions as well: reviewers report hot, fresh meals and that at least some residents (one noted "Dad") liked the food. The facility is described in multiple reviews as clean and well kept, with supportive leadership and engaging staff that contribute to a pleasant community atmosphere and strong neighbor relationships.

    However, a recurring and serious negative theme centers on pest problems and the facility's handling of them. Multiple reviews explicitly mention infestations involving spiders and kissing bugs, with residents experiencing bites. Reviewers report delays in pest control response and describe staff or property management as dismissive or in denial about the problem. The leasing office is called unhelpful in some accounts. These reports create tangible safety and comfort concerns that contrast sharply with the otherwise positive descriptions of cleanliness and care.

    There is also a pattern of mixed feedback about management and staffing. While many reviewers praise supportive leadership and kind management, others describe ‘‘awful management,’’ favoritism toward certain employees, and insufficient staffing levels contributing to lapses in care. A few reviews explicitly say care was poor or inconsistent. COVID-19 visitation restrictions are another clear negative: several family members reported that limited in-person visits during the pandemic caused anxiety despite the facility's strong safety protocols and use of virtual communication.

    In summary, the dominant strengths at Miller Farm Place are the quality and compassion of direct care staff, a lively activity program, comfortable and clean living spaces, good communication (including virtual options), and a generally homelike atmosphere that improves residents' well-being. The most significant and actionable concerns are pest infestation reports and perceived shortcomings in management responsiveness and staffing consistency. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility's strong caregiving culture and positive resident outcomes against the specific safety and management issues flagged in multiple reviews; it would be reasonable to ask the community directly about recent pest remediation efforts, current staffing levels, and management practices before deciding.

Under the decade-long leadership of CEO Dan Guill, Enlivant served thousands of seniors with a team of more than 7,000 dedicated caregivers.

    The company offered a comprehensive range of senior care services including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term stays.
