    Beautiful building, compassionate staff, unsafe

    My experience was very mixed. The building is beautifully remodeled, dog-friendly, and many staff - especially Director Ernie - were compassionate, attentive, communicative, and supportive during our transition; rehab and nursing care were excellent at times and residents seemed well loved. But cleanliness and safety were major concerns: I encountered filthy areas, reports of bed bugs/roaches, broken equipment, missed and wrong medications (no meds over New Year's weekend), understaffing, delayed responses, and signs of neglect; I also heard troubling reports about the administrator. I would recommend only with strong caution, constant family advocacy, and confirmation of the facility's safety and medication procedures.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment is mixed but centers strongly on staff quality and inconsistency in facility conditions and operations. A large portion of reviewers praise the caregiving team: staff are repeatedly described as kind, compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in residents’ well-being. Families report clear, respectful communication, collaborative care planning, and that consent and preferences are honored. Multiple reviewers note that staff know residents and family members by name, that the memory unit provides a loving environment, and that leadership (one director named) was supportive during transitions. Several comments emphasize that residents are socially engaged, make friends, and enjoy on-site activities like exercise classes and regular bathing schedules. Services such as 24-hour availability, rehab, and medication administration are cited positively in many accounts, and some reviewers describe the facility as newly remodeled, clean in their experience, and dog-friendly for visits.

    However, there is a contrasting group of reviews that raise serious concerns about cleanliness, safety, and consistency. Several reviews allege poor housekeeping, reports of pests (bed bugs, roaches), and areas described as dirty or broken-down. Multiple accounts raise worrying claims about medication mismanagement — including wrong meds or missed doses — and at least one review alleges that medications were not available over a holiday weekend. Some reviewers report rude or unresponsive staff, delayed assistance, and understaffing that they feel contributed to neglect. There is one particularly alarming isolated allegation about an administrator being intoxicated on duty; while this appears to be singular, it contributes to an overall pattern of inconsistent experiences. These negative reports prompted calls from some reviewers for regulatory inspection or intervention.

    Patterns suggest a polarized experience: many families and residents are very satisfied and express gratitude for attentive, loving care, while others encountered significant problems. The polarization could reflect differences across shifts, specific units (memory unit vs. other wings), timing (older incidents vs. newer improvements), or isolated staffing lapses. Several reviewers explicitly mention quick, helpful communication during the day (with reliable call answering before 5pm), but also hint at potential gaps evenings/overnights. Food is noted as "not fancy" by some and explicitly criticized by others, so dining quality appears to be modest and variable. Cost and access are other considerations: at least one reviewer mentions the community is expensive and has a waiting list, which may be relevant for prospective residents.

    Facility amenities and programming receive generally positive remarks (activities, socialization, bathing schedule, rehab), but the most significant area of risk reported across reviews is operational consistency — particularly cleanliness, pest control, medication administration, and staffing adequacy. Given the mix of strong praise for staff compassion alongside serious safety and sanitation allegations, prospective families should verify current conditions directly. Recommended steps include an in-person visit (including evenings), asking for recent state inspection reports and pest-control logs, inquiring about medication administration protocols and staffing ratios across shifts, checking references from current families, and confirming emergency/transportation policies and after-hours call response. These checks will help determine whether the positive experiences are representative of the facility today or whether the concerning reports indicate ongoing problems that need addressing.
