    Neglect dishonesty and unsafe care

    I appreciated Joey and a few considerate, helpful staff and the facility had nice rooms, activities and some good entertainment, but overall my experience was awful. Rooms and bathrooms were often dirty, meals left uneaten, residents frequently unattended, and my loved one developed a UTI that became serious and required hospitalization. Management was opaque and dishonest about payments (we were paying $12,800/month), vendors were unpaid, staff turnover and a toxic work culture led to bullying and lack of compassion; personal items and memories were mishandled. I reported them to agencies and would not recommend-trust was broken and care was neglected.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is highly mixed and polarized, with some reviewers reporting very positive experiences and others describing serious problems. Positive comments emphasize compassionate, attentive individuals and a robust activity and dining program; negative comments emphasize neglect, cleanliness failures, infection incidents, management/billing problems, and trust violations. The result is a facility that appears inconsistent — capable of good care under certain staff members and shifts but also prone to serious lapses that have led to adverse outcomes and formal complaints.

    Care quality is one of the most conflicted themes. Several reviewers praised specific caregivers (Joey and a "head gentleman") and described staff who are supportive, understanding, and good with dementia and end-of-life care. At the same time, there are multiple reports of substandard care: a urinary tract infection escalated to the point of hospitalization, complaints of fungal infections and nail problems, residents left unattended, and instances where staff were unresponsive. These adverse health reports indicate potential problems with infection control, monitoring, and consistent clinical oversight rather than isolated petty complaints.

    Staff behavior and culture are also mixed. Many reviewers describe staff as friendly, considerate, and helpful, and they appreciate the facility’s open-door policies and individualized attention when it occurs. Conversely, other reviewers allege a toxic work environment, bullying among staff, and a lack of compassion that results in residents being treated poorly. Staff turnover is noted, which can contribute to inconsistency in caregiving quality. The presence of praised individuals alongside allegations of systemic bullying suggests uneven staffing practices and possible management failures to maintain a stable, respectful workforce.

    Facilities and cleanliness reports are contradictory. Multiple reviewers describe rooms as "very nice," well kept, and pleasantly smelling; the dining program is praised for good variety and enjoyable meals by some families. Yet others report disgusting, dirty conditions in rooms and bathrooms and breakfasts left uneaten. This split suggests cleanliness and housekeeping standards may vary by unit, shift, or time period, or that different reviewers’ expectations and standards differ significantly.

    Activities and programming are generally a strength: reviewers repeatedly mention lots of activities and outside entertainment being brought in, which families appreciate. However, at least one entertainment visit (described as an "Easter Bunny" visit) was complicated by vendor payment issues — entertainers were reportedly unpaid or payment delayed — which undermined trust and led to negative impressions when the entertainment did not go smoothly. The vendor-payment issue seems tied into broader management and billing problems described by several reviewers.

    Management, billing, and vendor relations are prominent areas of concern. The facility’s private-pay cost is noted as very high (one review lists $12,800/month), and many reviewers cite billing transparency issues and disputes. Multiple allegations state the facility lied about payments to vendors, refused to pay vendor invoices, or delayed/withheld payments, prompting vendors and at least one family to report the facility to agencies. These kinds of financial and contractual disputes feed directly into trust concerns and can affect services — for example, entertainers not being paid or vendors being unwilling to work with the facility.

    There are also troubling reports about personal property and trust: a reviewer says a photo album was held by staff and not returned, along with a lack of appropriate follow-up by management, resulting in lost memories for the family. Combined with the billing and vendor complaints, this indicates a pattern where families feel they cannot reliably trust the facility to manage both personal belongings and external relationships responsibly.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a picture of a facility with meaningful strengths — compassionate individuals, good programming, attractive rooms, and positive dining experiences for some — but also with significant, recurring weaknesses around consistent care quality, infection control, cleanliness in certain cases, staff culture and turnover, billing transparency, and vendor relations. The divergent experiences suggest major variability depending on which staff are on duty, which unit a resident is placed in, and how management is handling vendors and billing at any given time.

    For prospective residents or families considering this facility, the reviews recommend close, targeted due diligence: visit multiple times at different hours, ask directly about infection-control policies and recent incident reports, request staff-to-resident ratios and turnover statistics, insist on clear written billing policies and vendor arrangements, check references from other families (including those who have raised concerns), and document any property handed to staff. Given the reports of both highly positive dementia and end-of-life care experiences and also severe lapses resulting in hospitalizations and formal complaints, decisions should weigh the potential for good individualized care against the documented risks of inconsistent management and serious quality failures.
