Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with repeated praise for staff, cleanliness, food, activities, and the quality of accommodations. Reviewers consistently describe staff as responsive, kind, genuine, and engaged; many notes emphasize that caregivers are friendly and make residents feel at home. Families report good communication and that staff keep them well informed. Several reviews highlight that move-ins are facilitated quickly and smoothly, and that there is a formal care plan involving a doctor, nurse, and social worker — indicating an organized, multidisciplinary approach to resident care.
Facility maintenance and common areas receive high marks: reviewers mention excellent cleaning of public areas, clean resident rooms, pleasant smells, and attractive interior spaces. Amenities such as multiple common areas, an exercise room, and a pool are repeatedly cited, as are frequent activities. Dining is another consistent positive—meals are described as good to excellent. Skilled nursing units are explicitly liked by some families, and the overall impression of the physical plant is that it is outstanding and resident-focused.
The staff culture is a standout theme. Beyond being competent caregivers, staff are portrayed as personable and engaged with residents—examples include playful pranks and staff who appear to enjoy their work. Multiple reviewers say their relative feels cared for and at home, and several explicitly state they would recommend the community to family and friends. The community is described as welcoming and supportive, with attention to continued care and resident wellbeing.
However, there are notable and recurring concerns that temper the otherwise strong endorsements. The memory care unit draws mixed to negative comments: some reviewers find that unit depressing, some report unpleasant odors, and it is mentioned that there is a waiting list for memory care placement. These points suggest variability in experience between units or that the memory care area may need attention or renovation and capacity expansion. Another consistent theme is the facility's religious character — almost daily mass and rosary are mentioned and viewed positively by some residents, but several reviewers say the Catholic/religious emphasis may be too strong for others or explicitly say they do not want a Catholic facility. This makes religious orientation a key factor to consider depending on a prospective resident's preferences.
Other lesser but relevant issues include concerns about affordability (some reviewers note that cost is a consideration, though options may exist) and that the facility's large size may not suit everyone. Demographically, many residents are in their 80s, which may influence the social environment and activity mix. In summary, St. Camillus receives very high marks for staffing, cleanliness, amenities, dining, and overall management of assisted living and skilled nursing, producing strong family endorsements. Prospective residents and families should, however, ask specific questions about memory care conditions and wait times, confirm how the campus's Catholic identity is integrated into daily life, and verify cost and unit availability to ensure the community matches their preferences and needs.
