    Unsafe, neglectful, understaffed elder care

    I would not recommend this place. I experienced chronic understaffing, slow call-light response, delayed/missed medications, and cold/inadequate meals (water/snacks often withheld unless requested), which put vulnerable residents - including diabetics - at risk. I witnessed poor hygiene and safety hazards, reports of neglect/abuse and discriminatory behavior, and management that seemed money-focused and dishonest. A few CNAs were kind and knowledgeable and the building smelled clean, but that didn't compensate for the unsafe, uncaring environment.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews is heavily negative, marked by frequent and serious complaints about staffing, care quality, safety, and management, with a minority of positive reports highlighting individual staff members and some acceptable rehabilitation outcomes. The reviews paint a polarized picture: while some families and residents report compassionate, knowledgeable staff and a clean environment, a much larger number of summaries include repeated and severe concerns that point to systemic problems at the facility.

    Care quality and staffing are the most consistently criticized aspects. Multiple reviews describe chronic understaffing, frequent nurse call-offs with little notice, and overworked staff, which reviewers link directly to slow responses to call lights, long waits for assistance, and instances of neglect. Several accounts specify delayed or missed medications, doctors who are unresponsive or do not see patients, and emergency room transfers that reviewers attribute to insufficient onsite medical attention. There are explicit reports of diabetic residents at risk due to gaps in monitoring and care, as well as general statements that residents are treated poorly or neglected when staffing is insufficient.

    Staff behavior and professionalism are described as highly inconsistent. Many reviews praise individual CNAs, nurses, or rehabilitation staff as kind, sweet to residents, or knowledgeable, and some reviewers explicitly call out outstanding care experiences. However, an equal or greater number of reviews report rude, unprofessional, or even abusive behavior, including physical harm, intimidation tactics, and allegations of extreme misconduct. These latter reports range from neglectful care and unsafe handling to allegations of acid burns, injuries, and other physical abuse. The coexistence of praised staff and severe negative reports suggests wide variability in staffing performance, possible high turnover, or uneven supervision.

    Medical and clinical concerns recur throughout the reviews. Readers flagged issues such as delayed medication administration, failure to administer prescriptions, and doctors failing to see patients, leading to emergency care. There are also infection control and public health concerns: reviewers claimed COVID-19 was present on the second floor and referenced venting issues. These clinical criticisms are amplified by sanitation complaints that include urine on floors, feces on walls, questionable food handling, and poor water quality. Some reviewers said water had to be requested to be provided, and others described cold or inadequate meals and budget limitations that prevent basic snack provision, sometimes prompting staff or families to buy snacks for residents.

    Dining and nutrition emerge as an ongoing problem area. Multiple reviewers reported poor food quality, cold meals, insufficient portions, and alarming claims about unsafe food handling. Some reviews describe average food at best, while others allege more disturbing practices tied to budget constraints. Several reviewers emphasized the risk to medically vulnerable residents (for example, diabetics) when nutrition and monitoring are inconsistent.

    Safety, cleanliness, and facility conditions are another prominent theme. While a minority of reviews state the facility is clean or smells clean, numerous summaries raise sanitation and safety red flags: urine and feces incidents, questionable water quality, alleged asbestos in carpets, broken or destroyed building elements, and other hazards. There are extraordinary and deeply disturbing allegations in the reviews, including claims of animal cruelty (a dead cat returned in a garbage bag, forced feeding of live animals) and even accusations of anti-freeze poisoning leading to a death. These claims, if accurate, would indicate severe regulatory and legal breaches; however, they are presented as reviewer allegations and would require verification from regulatory or investigative sources.

    Management and administration are criticized for being money-focused, dishonest, and inadequately responsive to concerns. Reviewers described budget-driven decisions that affect resident care directly, such as withholding snacks or minimizing staffing to cut costs. Several reviewers expressed the sense that administration prioritizes revenue over resident wellbeing. There are also allegations of discriminatory signage or racist behavior, criminal-level threats, and intimidation in the environment, which point to potential cultural and leadership failures within the facility.

    Activities and resident life are inconsistently reported. Some reviewers mention a normal activities program, while many criticize how activities are managed—alleging that games like bingo are used to pacify residents or to discouragingly silence complaints, and occasionally prioritized over urgent care needs. Television noise and commercial loops were mentioned as environmental annoyances.

    In sum, the reviews collectively indicate a facility with pockets of competent and caring staff and acceptable rehabilitation proximity to hospitals, but also widespread and severe complaints about staffing shortages, inconsistent and at times dangerous clinical care, sanitation and safety issues, and troubling allegations of abuse and mismanagement. Given the gravity and variety of the accusations in these reviews, prospective residents and families should proceed with caution: verify current inspection reports from state health departments, check for any recent violations or complaints, request a tour focusing on staffing levels and cleanliness, ask for references, and seek documentation of how the facility addresses allegations and incidents. The volume and seriousness of negative reports suggest systemic problems that warrant further independent investigation before making placement decisions.
