    Spotless facility, caring staff; caution

    I liked the spotless, pleasant-smelling facility, homemade healthy meals, and genuinely caring staff - long-time caregivers like Isabel treated residents like family. Safety features (alarms, motion sensors), diabetes checks, a blood-glucose meter, pharmacy account, Depends, exercise equipment, and transparent prorated pricing with no hidden fees (cheaper than Angels III) were reassuring. Activities and resident involvement were lacking. I did experience a serious staff incident (a caregiver drunk and later fired) and ultimately moved my father out, so I recommend with caution.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is predominantly positive about the everyday care environment, cleanliness, and basic services at the facility, but there are notable and serious concerns about isolated incidents of staff misconduct and management/oversight that create a mixed picture.

    Care quality and caregiving are recurring strengths in the reviews. Several commenters praise experienced and long-tenured caregivers — one caregiver (Isabel) is called out by name — and most reviewers note that staff treat residents with warmth and respect ("like grandmothers"). Diabetes-related care appears organized: reviewers mention blood glucose checks, provision of a glucose meter, and that the facility maintains a pharmacy account. The facility also supplies incontinence products (Depends) and other needed medical items, which reviewers found helpful. These points suggest the facility is attentive to common daily medical and personal-care needs for many residents.

    Facility condition and dining receive consistent positive feedback. Multiple reviewers describe the building as clean, spotless, and pleasant-smelling, and cite exercise equipment and safety systems such as alarms and motion detectors. Meals are characterized as homemade and healthful, which supports an image of comfortable daily living. One reviewer also found the director impressive and noted pricing is competitive (specifically cheaper than a named local alternative, Angels III), and transparent pricing practices (no extra fees, prorated move-in) were appreciated.

    Social programming and activities are an area with mixed feedback. Some reviewers mention activities and music being offered, but at least one review explicitly states activities are lacking and calls for greater resident involvement. This indicates variability in the quantity or quality of engagement opportunities; prospective families should clarify the current activity schedule and resident participation levels during a tour.

    The most significant negative themes are related to serious personnel and management issues raised by one reviewer. That reviewer reported a resident fall from bed, a caregiver who was allegedly drunk and subsequently fired, and verbal abuse directed at the owner, culminating in moving their father out of the facility. These allegations point to an episode of acute failure in supervision, staff vetting, or policy enforcement. While other reviews emphasize caring and reliable staff, this incident highlights a potential for inconsistent staff behavior and raises questions about oversight, disciplinary processes, and incident reporting. Staffing instability and turnover tied to disciplinary action ("caregiver fired") were also noted.

    In summary, the reviews largely praise the facility's day-to-day caregiving, cleanliness, food, and practical supports such as diabetes care, medication coordination, and safety equipment. However, there is a clear red flag in at least one report of severe staff misconduct and a fall, and some reviewers call out limited activities. The pattern suggests generally strong operations with occasional serious lapses. For a prospective resident or family, recommended next steps would be to tour the facility, meet the director and key caregivers, ask about recent incidents and how they were handled, review staff hiring and supervision policies, confirm current activity programming, and verify safety and fall-prevention protocols. These inquiries can help determine whether the positive day-to-day strengths described by multiple reviewers are consistent and whether the facility has addressed the reported management and staffing issues.
