    Short staffed, rude, medication delays

    I brought my parent here because it's near medical care and activities, but the facility is severely short-staffed, staff were rude with poor communication and language barriers, I waited ages to be let in and had trouble getting prescribed meds, and I was even told the state has closed new admissions for noncompliance - overall a horrible experience.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is predominantly negative, with multiple reviewers reporting recurrent problems related to staff behavior, communication, and regulatory compliance. While reviewers note some positive attributes such as the facility's proximity to medical services, availability of activities, and the presence of both assisted and independent living options, these positives are repeatedly overshadowed by concerns about day-to-day care and operational reliability.

    Staff and communication emerge as the most frequent and significant themes. Reviews repeatedly cite staff communication problems and a language barrier that interferes with clear communication between staff and residents or family members. This breakdown in communication contributes to a perception of poor quality of care and leads to specific incidents being highlighted, such as difficulty obtaining prescribed medications. Several reviewers explicitly reported trouble getting medications, which is a concrete care-safety concern and directly affects resident well-being.

    Behavior and responsiveness of staff are also major issues. Multiple summaries describe rude or unhelpful staff, negative attitudes, and long waits to be let into the facility or to receive assistance. These experiences are commonly linked to short staffing; reviewers indicate that limited staffing levels contribute to delays, poor directions, and an overall impression of horrible service. The combination of perceived rudeness and prolonged waits suggests systemic operational strain rather than isolated interpersonal incidents.

    Regulatory and management concerns are acute and notable. Review summaries mention noncompliance with state regulations and that the facility has been closed to new residents by the state. This is a serious red flag: it signals that problems have been significant enough to attract regulatory action, and it should be a central consideration for prospective residents and families. Reviews do not provide detailed specifics about the regulatory findings, but the fact of closure and noncompliance is repeatedly noted and compounds the negative impressions from staff and care-quality complaints.

    On the facilities and services side, reviewers do acknowledge positives: the location near medical resources and the availability of activities are frequently mentioned as advantages, and the facility is described by some as unique. The presence of both assisted living and independent living options suggests a range of service levels on site. However, there is little detailed praise about daily living aspects such as dining, housekeeping, or activity quality — the available summaries focus more on problems than on high-quality service experiences.

    In summary, the reviews paint a picture of a facility with potentially useful location and service-type attributes that is significantly undermined by communication barriers, staff behavior issues, medication access problems, staffing shortages, and regulatory noncompliance. These issues are recurring themes across multiple reviews and appear to materially affect resident experience and safety. Prospective residents or family members should seek up-to-date information from the facility about current staffing, language support, medication management procedures, and the facility's regulatory status before making decisions.
