    Kind staff, poor care, neglect

    I live here and I'm disappointed. The staff are kind and hardworking but turnover is high and the owners seem unconcerned. Meals are small, often late or run out (sometimes just sandwiches), diabetic and post-surgery care is poor, and meds are given inconsistently - several residents have lost weight. Rooms and housekeeping are clean and heat/AC and DirectTV are included, but common areas feel dark, quiet and a bit neglected. I'm looking for somewhere nicer.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed to negative, with clear patterns of inconsistent care and dining problems balanced against a few practical amenities and some positive impressions of individual staff. Multiple reviewers note serious concerns about medical and nutritional care, while others emphasize that rooms are clean, housekeeping is provided, and that the facility offers certain free amenities. This creates a picture of a facility that can appear acceptable in some respects but has recurring, potentially serious operational shortcomings.

    Care quality and health-related concerns are prominent. Several reviews report poor post-surgery care: residents were not checked on after returning from surgery, and family members felt the staff did not adequately follow up. Medication administration is described as inconsistent; timing is reportedly unreliable. There are also alarming food- and nutrition-related criticisms: no diabetic meals are prepared for residents who need them, serving sizes are small, not enough food is cooked to feed everyone, and when the main entrée runs out, staff sometimes serve sandwiches instead. Reviewers explicitly link small portions and inadequate meals to weight loss among residents, which raises legitimate health and safety questions for a care facility.

    Staffing and management emerge as another major theme. High turnover and inconsistent staff are repeatedly mentioned; reviewers describe instability and irregularity in who provides care. Some reviews characterize the owner as uncaring, which, combined with reports of poor oversight (for example, missed post-operative checks or inconsistent medication timing), suggests managerial weaknesses or insufficient supervision. At the same time, several reviewers note that some staff are nice, try to take care of residents, and that the owners are hard-working—indicating that while there may be effort at the individual level, systemic problems persist.

    Dining and nutrition problems are a recurring and specific complaint. Meal quality is generally called mediocre, portions small, and service late at times. The claim that diabetic meals are not prepared is particularly concerning because it indicates the facility may not be meeting specialized dietary needs. Reports of running out of main meals and substituting sandwiches point to poor meal planning and capacity issues. These dining failures are linked by reviewers to resident weight loss and general dissatisfaction.

    Facility condition and atmosphere are described inconsistently. On the positive side, multiple reviewers say rooms are clean and housekeeping is included. The building itself is sometimes described as 'fair' and not dirty by some. However, several other reviewers paint a less favorable picture of communal areas—dirty lunchroom tables, dark or depressing common spaces, and an overall 'jail-like' vibe. The facility is also described as very quiet, which some interpret as neglectful or depressing rather than peaceful. This split suggests that private rooms may be maintained while shared spaces and the general environment suffer from neglect.

    Activities, social atmosphere, and overall mood are areas of concern. The descriptors 'very quiet,' 'depressing,' and 'felt bad for residents' imply limited engagement and a low-activity environment. That, together with the reports of a dark or jail-like atmosphere, suggests residents may experience social isolation or an unstimulating daily routine. No positive mentions of robust activity programming appear in the summaries provided.

    In summary, reviewers point to a combination of practical advantages (clean rooms, included housekeeping, free DirecTV and climate control) and repeated operational failures that affect health and well-being (inadequate post-operative care, inconsistent medication administration, poor meal planning, lack of diabetic meals, and staff turnover). The mixed comments about staff and owners—ranging from 'nice' and 'hard-working' to 'owner does not care'—indicate inconsistent experiences that may depend on which staff are on duty or which management actions are taken at any given time. The most pressing issues to address would be reliable medical follow-up after procedures, consistent and appropriate medication administration, improved meal planning with attention to dietary needs (including diabetes), and visible improvements to communal areas and activity programming to reduce the reported depressing atmosphere. Improvements in staffing stability and management oversight would likely help resolve many of the recurring problems described by reviewers.
