    Excellent food but inconsistent care

    I have mixed feelings. I found the food excellent and varied and many caregivers attentive - the RN manager and owner are knowledgeable and helpful - and the facility is well kept. But services are bare-bones (one shower a week, sponge baths), bedding and pillows are shabby, live-in assistants seem untrained, infection control is poor (an infected person was allowed in) and management can be self-centered and price-sensitive, so I'd be cautious.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is sharply mixed, with some reviewers offering high praise and others reporting serious concerns. Positive comments highlight attentive caregivers, an overall excellent facility and care, strong clinical/managerial staff such as a helpful RN manager, and very good, varied food in at least some accounts. Negative comments raise multiple operational, safety, and comfort issues including management behavior, staffing and training, infection control, basic hygiene practices, bedding and linens, and perceived value for price.

    Care quality and staffing emerge as a major area of divergence. Several reviews explicitly state that caregivers are attentive and provide excellent care, and one review praises an RN manager as helpful and knowledgeable. At the same time, other reviewers report untrained live-in assistants and say care quality was poor. There is therefore a clear pattern of inconsistent experiences: while some residents or families encountered well-trained, caring staff, others encountered staff they considered insufficiently trained or inadequately supervised. The presence of a knowledgeable RN manager is a notable positive in the reviews, but it sits alongside reports that live-in assistants lacked training.

    Facility upkeep and resident comfort are also described inconsistently. Some reviewers say the facility is well kept, while negative reports focus on poor bedding (described as thrift-store quality) and unsatisfactory pillows ("pancake-flat"). Hygiene and personal care practices are a specific complaint: one review states residents received only one shower per week and otherwise sponge baths. That detail, coupled with descriptions of "bare-bones services," suggests that the level of routine personal care may be limited for some residents.

    Dining receives mixed but detailed mention. A number of reviewers praise the food as excellent and varied; at least one review uses the phrase "dinners better" and another suggests meals are minimal overall with dinners being the stronger meal. This indicates variability in meal quantity and/or quality across times or perceptions — some people are very satisfied with the menu, while others find meal portions or offerings sparse except at dinner.

    Management and safety concerns are among the most serious negatives raised. Reviews present contradictory portraits of the owner and management: some call the owner knowledgeable, while others describe the owner as careless, self-centered, or a "shrewd businesswoman." More concretely worrying are allegations about infection control — specifically an infected person being allowed in the facility and general poor infection-control practices — and reports that staff were threatened. Price concerns are mentioned alongside descriptions of minimal services, implying that some reviewers feel the cost does not match the level of care and amenities provided.

    Taken together, the reviews paint a picture of a facility where experiences vary significantly between reviewers. Strengths cited include caring caregivers, strong clinical/managerial personnel (RN manager), good food for some, and a generally well-kept environment in some reports. Significant weaknesses cited by others include inconsistent staff training, inadequate hygiene practices, low-quality linens, infection-control lapses, safety/staff-threat concerns, and perceived misalignment between price and services. Prospective residents and families should be aware of this variability and seek direct, up-to-date information about staffing levels and training, bathing and hygiene schedules, infection-control policies, linen/comfort standards, dining offerings, and how management addresses complaints to determine whether the facility meets their expectations.
