    Some good staff overall unsafe

    I moved my father here and while the meals, rehab program, church service and a few cheerful, helpful staff/cleaning crew were good, chronic mismanagement made it feel unsafe. Overbooked/short-staffed (up to 16 patients per 8-hr shift), dirty rooms/sheets, unmet basic needs, a violent resident allowed to remain (police were involved), misleading pricing and a threatening DON convinced me not to recommend - I reported it to the state board.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is markedly mixed and polarized, with distinct clusters of positive and negative experiences. Several reviewers describe the facility as providing good rehabilitative services, pleasant meals, helpful staff, organized activities such as church services, and in some accounts an excellent cleaning crew and administration. Conversely, multiple reviewers report serious problems: chronic or severe understaffing, lapses in basic care and cleanliness, management and safety issues, and misleading information about pricing and accommodations. The volume and severity of negative comments (including calls for state review and reports of police involvement) contrast sharply with other reviewers' high satisfaction, indicating inconsistent performance and widely varying experiences depending on timing, unit, or staff on duty.

    Care quality and staffing: A recurring theme is inconsistency in care quality tied to staffing levels and staff morale. One reviewer explicitly reported an extreme staffing ratio (16 patients per staff member on an 8-hour shift), and other reviews mention occasional short-staffing and staff malaise developing over a resident's stay. Positive accounts note good initial care and satisfaction with rehab programs, but negative accounts describe basic patient needs not being met and periods when staff appeared overwhelmed or unresponsive. This pattern suggests that when staffing is adequate and engaged, care can be good; when staffing is thin or morale is low, care quality and responsiveness decline.

    Staff behavior and morale: Reviews describe a spectrum of staff behavior. Some families and residents encountered friendly, helpful staff and appreciated supportive interactions. However, other reviewers reported rudeness, lack of communication, and management-related stressors affecting staff behavior — including an allegation that the Director of Nursing threatens staff. These management-staff dynamics likely contribute to inconsistent resident experiences. The presence of both praise for individual staff members and reports of rude or disengaged personnel points to variability across shifts or units rather than uniformly good or bad staffing.

    Cleanliness and facilities: Reviews conflict on cleanliness. A few reviewers praise a "phenomenal cleaning crew" and say resident cleanliness is generally good, while other accounts describe unclean bathrooms, filthy sheets, and dirty rooms. This discrepancy again suggests inconsistency — possibly varying by unit, time, or individual housekeeping staff performance. Facilities descriptions also include dissatisfaction with room configuration and pricing: at least one reviewer felt the advertised accommodations (an "apartment") were misrepresented and that rent was higher than advertised, with the actual unit being a single room.

    Management, safety, and administration: Several negative reviews focus on management and safety concerns. Specific issues include poor or uncommunicative administration, misrepresentation of pricing, and safety incidents such as a violent resident being allowed to remain, leading to police involvement. One reviewer recommended that state regulatory authorities review the facility. Conversely, other reviewers described "wonderful administration" and helpful leadership. The divergence indicates inconsistent managerial performance or differing experiences with administrative staff. Safety concerns are particularly salient: reports of a violent resident allowed to remain and subsequent police responses are serious red flags that merit attention from prospective families.

    Dining, activities, and rehabilitation: Where services are described positively, reviewers highlight good dinners, organized activities including church services, and an effective rehab program. These strengths appear in multiple positive reviews and represent concrete offerings that benefit residents. They are balanced, however, by negative reports that general facility functioning can undermine the resident experience when staffing or management problems occur.

    Notable patterns and implications: The reviews portray a facility that can provide satisfactory or even excellent services at times, but whose performance is uneven. Key drivers of the variability are staffing levels and management practices. Positive elements — competent rehab, good meals, some engaged staff, and activities — are repeatedly mentioned, but so are systemic issues: understaffing, inconsistent cleanliness, alleged threatening behavior by supervisory staff, pricing misrepresentation, and safety incidents. For families considering this facility, the most actionable takeaways are to (1) ask about current staffing levels and turnover, (2) request recent inspection or complaint history, (3) confirm pricing and room descriptions in writing, and (4) inquire specifically about behavioral management and safety protocols for residents with violent or disruptive behaviors. Those who reported very positive experiences suggest the facility can meet needs under favorable conditions, but multiple serious negative reports recommend caution and further verification before placement.
