    Nice facility but poor care

    I had a mixed but mostly negative experience. The building, therapy team and a few caregivers (notably wound care and some therapists) can be excellent - clean, comfortable rooms and strong rehab when staffed. Too often though I found unresponsive, understaffed and disorganized nursing: missed or late meds, ignored call lights, poor monitoring, hygiene and wound concerns, and slow or unsafe responses that left me seriously worried about residents' safety. Administration and shift leadership seemed inconsistent; family communication and record-keeping were often lacking. Because of those lapses I would be very cautious about sending a loved one here despite the facility's nice appearance.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the review summaries is strongly mixed and highly polarized. A substantial number of reviewers describe excellent clinical outcomes — especially in wound care and therapy — praising named clinicians and teams for measurable recovery (improved mobility, regained speech, decreased need for supports). Many families report compassionate, attentive nurses and CNAs, a pleasant activities program, high-quality therapy (PT/OT/SLP), and a modern, well-maintained facility with comfortable rooms. Several reviewers noted the facility can provide a luxury, recovery-focused experience with tasteful dining, concierge-style touches, on-site lab services, and good discharge follow-up. Multiple reviews explicitly name specific staff (wound nurses, therapists, activity director, some administrators) as outstanding and critical to positive outcomes. New management or a change in ownership/leadership was also cited by several reviewers as leading to noticeable improvements in care and organization in certain time periods or units.

    However, an equally large and concerning set of reviews recount serious, sometimes alarming problems. The predominant negative themes are inconsistent clinical care and systemic management failures. Numerous reports describe medication errors (delayed dosing, missed BP meds, giving medicine to the wrong patient), unsafe IV and wound care practices, bloodied dressings left unattended, soiled sheets and linens not changed, and development or worsening of pressure injuries. There are multiple allegations of neglect: long call-light delays (examples include waits of 1–1.5 hours), soiled diapers left in place, patients left uncovered or unattended, and poor monitoring of medically fragile residents. Safety incidents reported include falls, head injuries, unreported incident reports, transfers back to hospital with pneumonia or sepsis, and even deaths or ICU admissions that families attribute to lapses in care. Several reviews claim severe breaches such as giving the wrong patient’s medication, lack of ID wristbands, unauthorized hospice sign-ups, alleged intimidation or drugging, and police/APS involvement. While some of these are anecdotal, the frequency and severity across multiple reports indicate systemic risk areas rather than isolated complaints.

    Staffing, leadership, and communication emerge as central drivers of the facility’s variability. Positive reviews tend to reference specific, stable caregivers and proactive leadership (DON/ADON or an engaged administrator) who resolved concerns quickly. Negative reviews typically cite a pattern of poor leadership: bullying, retaliation against staff who raise concerns, lack of training, locked supplies creating unsafe assignments, and an administration that is unresponsive or dismissive when families inquire. Many reviewers note stark differences by shift and by weekday/weekend, with weekend or night staffing described as thin, unresponsive, or unskilled. The facility’s switchboard/phone system and front-desk communications are repeatedly criticized — missed calls, lost phones, unanswered messages — which compounds family distress and creates delays in clinical triage. Several reviewers explicitly mention that the physical facility looks good (new, modern, well-appointed) but that appearance can mask inconsistent frontline care and poor record-keeping.

    Dining, activities, and environment receive mixed feedback. Some families describe thoughtfully prepared meals with good variety and freshly made dishes; others report repetitive meals, missing menu items, or poor food quality. Common areas, activities, and an engaged activity director receive praise where staffing allows. Cleaning and housekeeping are variably reported — many call the facility clean and pleasant, but others describe urine smells, carpeted areas that are hard to keep sanitary, and instances of filthy linens or rooms left dirty. Laundry mix-ups and lost personal items appear sporadically in complaints.

    A recurring, important pattern is the presence of named individuals who consistently attract positive feedback (notably an identified wound nurse and some therapists) while systemic issues persist. Several reviewers note a turnaround after a management change or the arrival of new leadership or therapy partners, indicating that quality can improve under different operational regimes. Conversely, other reviews recount deterioration after the departure of key staff. This implies that quality at this facility may be highly dependent on specific personnel and current management practices.

    Family experience and trust are major themes. Many families expressed gratitude and relief when their loved ones improved under attentive staff. At the same time, many families reported feeling ignored, lied to, or stonewalled by administrators when raising safety or clinical concerns. Several reviews mention regulatory complaints or state involvement, and at least a few describe formal investigations or recommendations to contact state authorities. Billing, insurance disputes, and abrupt or forced discharges are additional stressors reported by multiple reviewers.

    In summary, the reviews portray a facility capable of delivering outstanding rehabilitation and wound care when staffed and managed well, but also vulnerable to serious lapses in safety, communication, and basic caregiving when staffing, leadership, or procedures fail. The most consistent strengths are excellent wound care and therapy outcomes (often tied to specific clinicians), a generally attractive physical environment, and pockets of very compassionate frontline staff. The most critical risks are medication and safety errors, inconsistent call response and monitoring, leadership and staffing instability, poor family communication, and allegations of neglect or abuse. Prospective residents and families should weigh the positive success stories against the numerous reports of dangerous variability, ask about current leadership and staff-to-patient ratios, request recent quality and inspection records, meet or speak with the clinicians who would be involved in care, and maintain close oversight during any stay. If there are immediate safety concerns, review of incident reports and, if necessary, contacting state oversight agencies or the resident’s medical power of attorney are appropriate next steps.
