    Neglect, theft, bedbugs, understaffed facility

    I placed my loved one here and regret it. While a few caregivers (Rita, Ginger, Emily, Misty and others) were kind and hard-working, systemic problems outweighed the good: theft of meds and clothing, belongings going missing, bedbug infestation with minimal extermination, and an ongoing state investigation/charges. My relative suffered neglect - severe pressure wounds, dressings left for weeks, delayed or withheld medications, missed showers, poor wound care and even surgeries to correct facility injuries. The home is chronically understaffed, phones and nurses' station often unresponsive, communication nonexistent, doors unsecured, and basic care (hydration, oral care, clean linens) unreliable. There have been some improvements under new management, but overall I would not recommend this facility - visit first and be very cautious.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is highly polarized but predominantly cautious to negative. Many reviewers describe pockets of genuinely caring, hardworking staff and effective nursing management, while an approximately equal or larger set of reviews report systemic problems that threaten resident safety and basic standards of care. The aggregated picture is of a facility with committed individuals who at times provide excellent care, operating within a context of chronic understaffing, inconsistent leadership, and serious operational failures that have led to documented and alleged harm.

    Care quality and clinical concerns are recurring and among the most serious themes. Several reviewers credit specific nurses, CNAs, and managers with delivering compassionate, effective care and rehabilitation progress. At the same time, multiple reports recount significant clinical failures: medication delays or withholding, medication theft, improper wound care culminating in stage-four pressure injuries, missed or very delayed showers, dehydration and malnutrition, and even surgeries to correct facility-originating injuries. These reports include claims of delayed pain relief, ignored allergies, missed dental care, and failure to follow life-saving procedures. There are multiple allegations that these clinical lapses led to hospitalizations and ICU admissions. Some reviews say state investigators were on-site and that charges were filed. Because the reviews include both praise for individual caregivers and very serious harm allegations, the pattern suggests inconsistent clinical performance that may be tied to other systemic problems.

    Staffing, scheduling, and shift variability are central to the negative themes. Understaffing is mentioned repeatedly, with at least one report specifying extremely high nurse-to-patient ratios (30–40:1) and accounts of only two CNAs on shift. Reviewers describe nights and weekends as especially problematic, with louder, poorly supervised wards, long response times, and more neglect. Multiple comments note that overworked nurses are pulled off duties (e.g., pulled to pass meds) and that staffing reductions (for example, removal of full-time respiratory therapists) have impacted care. Staff turnover, payroll complaints, and reports that management cannot retain or recruit dependable caregivers reinforce a narrative that staffing shortages are a root cause of many failures.

    Management, communication, and oversight produce mixed but frequently negative impressions. Some reviewers praise a corporate office and specific administrators who are actively trying to improve the home, and numerous positive comments single out named leaders (Misty, Emily, etc.) for excellent management. However, many reviews accuse local management of dishonesty, favoritism, and cover-ups. Communication with families is often criticized: unanswered calls, no return calls, buzzer/front desk ignored, poor follow-up after incidents or deliveries, and inaccurate information (including misspelled names). There are multiple reports alleging that corporate did not adequately respond to complaints and that management accepted residents for financial reasons despite unsuitability. Several reviewers urge that state oversight be involved and describe having already engaged regulators or filed charges.

    Safety, security, and environmental conditions are inconsistent across accounts. Positively, reviewers note an enclosed outdoor area, well-kept grounds, a safe neighborhood, and a clean cafeteria in some reports. Conversely, other reviewers report unsecured doors (side doors propped open), bedbug infestations with minimal remediation, urine smells, dirty diapers left in public areas, and visible filth. Heating/air conditioning problems, aging infrastructure, and a generally depressing environment are also cited. These environmental problems combine with staffing shortfalls to create safety and dignity concerns for residents.

    Activities, dining, and resident life show both strengths and weaknesses. Activities such as bingo, Bible study, and crafting are called out as well-coordinated and appreciated. Therapy services and rehabilitation efforts are praised by several families that saw real functional improvements. On the other hand, many reviews complain about limited activities or canceled programs due to budget constraints, bland/cold food with limited choices, and a depressing atmosphere that undermines quality of life. The social and emotional experience appears to vary greatly depending on staffing and management on particular shifts or changes in leadership.

    Patterns and overall assessment: the dominant pattern is variability. Experiences range from “best nursing management” and “goes above and beyond” to reports of abuse, neglect, and criminal investigations. Many of the worst allegations—stage-four pressure sores, theft of medication and clothing, security lapses, and nonresponsive staff—are systemic in nature and align with recurring complaints about understaffing and poor supervision. Positive comments consistently name particular caregivers and managers and emphasize that when the right team is present, residents do well; negative comments point to nights, weekends, and periods of management instability as times when care declines sharply.

    For families or advocates evaluating this facility, the reviews suggest several practical concerns to verify in person and with regulators: staffing levels by shift (especially nights/weekends), current state inspection history and reports, wound-care protocols and recent incident investigations, medication management and security, communication procedures for families, infection/infestation remediation practices, and the facility’s handling of transfers/consents. The reviews indicate that outcomes for residents appear highly dependent on which staff and management are on duty; therefore, hands-on monitoring and explicit agreements about clinical care, safety checks, and family communication are important if one chooses this facility. Overall, while there are demonstrated strengths and dedicated staff, the volume and severity of safety, clinical, and management concerns in these summaries justify careful scrutiny and cautious decision-making.
